How did you install? Over a previous release?

and I am having trouble with the xymon web page. It does come up, but it seems to be adding a /xymon/ in front of the directories so the web is not picking up the stylesheets.

[..]

URL for Xymon webpages

XYMONHOSTURL = /

URL for Xymon CGIs

XYMONCGIURL = /xymon-cgi

URL for Xymon Admin CGIs

SECUREXYMONCGIURL = /xymon-seccgi

Webserver group-ID

HTTPDGID=apache

Check the XYMON.*URL entries in your xymonserver.cfg file.

I don't see how permissions would create the web page links with the extra /xymon/ as part of the link.

For example the xymon web page comes up, but the Main view link shows "/xymon/xymon.html" instead of just "xymon.html". I don't know why xymon is adding the extra path. Any paths with xymon-cgi work without any problems.

Thank you,

Tom

I suspect that you'll find that you have some overly strict permission settings on your web files. I had a similar problem when I installed RC1 and relaxing the permissions so that the Apache user (usually "nobody") can read the files fixed the problem. You will probably want to make sure that the xymon user account has a umask no more restrictive than 022. Also, if this is a new OS install, make sure selinux is turned off.

We found out the problem. If you don't input the proper answers the first time, the default adds the /xymon/. Make clean and changing the Makefile does not change it after the fact. We had to remove the source directory and reconfigured with the proper answer the first time and it now works as expected.

Thank you all for looking into this.

The "extra" xymon is supposed to be there. It is what tells your web server were to look for your web pages. Your configuration file for Apache should contain something like this:

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>

Which tells Apache to look at /usr/local/xymon/server/www whenever it sees "xymon". There are similar entries for xymon-cgi and cgi-secure.

Check you web server logs, I'm almost positive you find that Apache cannot access the web page files.
