(Sorry for the top post)

F18+ includes Apache 2.4, which changed how authentication is performed without adding special compat modules in. (Pretty annoying if you ask me :/ )

In the below sections:

ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

Change to read:

ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Require all granted </Directory>

Do that for all the sections and it should work for ya.

HTH,

I just installed xymon on a Fedora 18 local desktop for a POC. No matter what I try I can't access the web console. This apache instance works fine on everything else so I'm not sure what I'm missing. I've ensured the file system has global read and execute permissions for all users to view the content and I've even added apache user to the xymon group. The apache error logs show:

AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/xymon/server/www/

Below is my httpd.conf. I eliminated all other config issues by commenting out the Include conf.d/*.conf line and copied the contents of xymon-apache.conf into httpd.conf directly with no success. Any other suggestions?

This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the

configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/> for detailed information.

In particular, see

<URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html>

for a discussion of each configuration directive.

Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding

what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are

unsure

consult the online docs. You have been warned.

Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many

of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32),

the

server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin

with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so 'log/access_log'

with ServerRoot set to '/www' will be interpreted by the

server as '/www/log/access_log', where as '/log/access_log' will be

interpreted as '/log/access_log'.

ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's

configuration, error, and log files are kept.

Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point

ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to specify a local disk on the

Mutex directive, if file-based mutexes are used. If you wish to share

the

same ServerRoot for multiple httpd daemons, you will need to change at

least PidFile.

ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>

directive.

Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to

prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 80

Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support

To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO

you

have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the

directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are

used.

Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need

to be loaded here.

Example:

LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so

Include conf.modules.d/*.conf

If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run

httpd as root initially and it will switch.

User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.

It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for

running httpd, as with most system services.

User apache Group apache

'Main' server configuration

The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'

server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a

<VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for

any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.

All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,

in which case these default settings will be overridden for the

virtual host being defined.

ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be

e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such

as error documents. e.g. admin at your-domain.com

ServerAdmin root at localhost

ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify

itself.

This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify

it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.

If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address

here.

#ServerName www.example.com:80

Deny access to the entirety of your server's filesystem. You must

explicitly permit access to web content directories in other

<Directory> blocks below.

<Directory /> AllowOverride none Require all denied </Directory>

Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow

particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as

you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it

below.

DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your

documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but

symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

Relax access to content within /var/www.

<Directory "/var/www"> AllowOverride None # Allow open access: Require all granted </Directory>

Further relax access to the default document root:

<Directory "/var/www/html"> # # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All", # or any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess

files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride None

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Require all granted

</Directory>

DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

is requested.

<IfModule dir_module> DirectoryIndex index.html </IfModule>

The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being

viewed by Web clients.

<Files ".ht*"> Require all denied </Files>

ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.

If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>

container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be

logged here. If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>

container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.

ErrorLog "logs/error_log"

LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.

Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

alert, emerg.

LogLevel warn

<IfModule log_config_module> # # The following directives define some format nicknames for use with # a CustomLog directive (see below). # LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common

<IfModule logio_module>
  # You need to enable mod_logio.c to use %I and %O
  LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\"

\"%{User-Agent}i\" %I %O" combinedio </IfModule>

#
# The location and format of the access logfile (Common Logfile

Format). # If you do not define any access logfiles within a <VirtualHost> # container, they will be logged here. Contrariwise, if you *do* # define per-<VirtualHost> access logfiles, transactions will be # logged therein and *not* in this file. # #CustomLog "logs/access_log" common

#
# If you prefer a logfile with access, agent, and referer information
# (Combined Logfile Format) you can use the following directive.
#
CustomLog "logs/access_log" combined

</IfModule>

<IfModule alias_module> # # Redirect: Allows you to tell clients about documents that used to # exist in your server's namespace, but do not anymore. The client # will make a new request for the document at its new location. # Example: # Redirect permanent /foo http://www.example.com/bar

#
# Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
# access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
# Example:
# Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
#
# If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL.  You will also likely
# need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
# the filesystem path.

#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the target directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to

the # client. The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias # directives as to Alias. # ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

</IfModule>

"/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased

CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Require all granted </Directory>

<IfModule mime_module> # # TypesConfig points to the file containing the list of mappings from # filename extension to MIME-type. # TypesConfig /etc/mime.types

#
# AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration
# file specified in TypesConfig for specific file types.
#
#AddType application/x-gzip .tgz
#
# AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress
# information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.
#
#AddEncoding x-compress .Z
#AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
#
# If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you
# probably should define those extensions to indicate media types:
#
AddType application/x-compress .Z
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz

#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the

server # or added with the Action directive (see below) # # To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories: # (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.) # #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

# For type maps (negotiated resources):
#AddHandler type-map var

#
# Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the

client. # # To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI): # (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.) # AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml </IfModule>

Specify a default charset for all content served; this enables

interpretation of all content as UTF-8 by default. To use the

default browser choice (ISO-8859-1), or to allow the META tags

in HTML content to override this choice, comment out this

directive:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

The mod_mime_magic module allows the server to use various hints from

the

contents of the file itself to determine its type. The MIMEMagicFile

directive tells the module where the hint definitions are located.

MIMEMagicFile conf/magic

Customizable error responses come in three flavors:

1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects

Some examples:

#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo." #ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html #ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl" #ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html

EnableMMAP and EnableSendfile: On systems that support it,

memory-mapping or the sendfile syscall may be used to deliver

files. This usually improves server performance, but must

be turned off when serving from networked-mounted

filesystems or if support for these functions is otherwise

broken on your system.

Defaults if commented: EnableMMAP On, EnableSendfile Off

#EnableMMAP off EnableSendfile on

Supplemental configuration

Load config files in the "/etc/httpd/conf.d" directory, if any.

#IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf Include conf.d/*.conf

This file is for Apache 1.3.x and Apache 2.0.x

Add this to your Apache configuration, it makes

the Xymon webpages and cgi-scripts available in the

"/xymon" and "/xymon-cgi" URLs.

NB: The "Alias" line below must NOT be used if you have

the Xymon webfiles as the root URL. In that case,

you should instead set this:

DocumentRoot /usr/local/xymon/server/www

Alias /xymon/ "/usr/local/xymon/server/www/" <Directory "/usr/local/xymon/server/www"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-secure/" <Directory "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-secure"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all

# Password file where users with access to these scripts are kept.
# Create it with "htpasswd -c /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd

USERNAME" # Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd USERNAME" # # You can also use a group file to restrict admin access to members of a # group, instead of anyone who is logged in. In that case you must setup # the "xymongroups" file, and change the "Require" settings to require # a specific group membership. See the Apache docs for more details.

AuthUserFile /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd
AuthGroupFile /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymongroups
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Xymon Administration"

# "valid-user" restricts access to anyone who is logged in.
Require valid-user

# "group admins" restricts access to users who have logged in, AND
# are members of the "admins" group in xymongroups.
# Require group admins

</Directory>
