Hi I re-installed Xymon but I still can't get anything on the web browser.
I get "Not Found. The requested URL /xymon was not found on this server"
Run 'Make & make install' again with no errors.
- Added the content of file 'xymon-apache.conf' in 'httpd.conf'.
- Created 'xymonpasswd' using '.htaccess' and placed it in /etc/httpd directory.
- Edited 'xymon-apache.conf' file and modify location of xymonpasswd.
- Commented out '#AuthGroupFile /opt/xymon/server/etc/xymongroups' in httpd.conf because I am not going to use it. In fact I haven't figured out how to use it at the moment, so I will leave for another time.
When I checked the apache syntax (apachectl -t), I got the following warnings: *)[Thu Oct 06 11:27:58 2011] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1010 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
*)[Thu Oct 06 11:27:58 2011] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1017 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
*)[Thu Oct 06 11:27:58 2011] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1025 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
*)Syntax OK
My 'xymonlaunch.log' looks like this: 2011-10-06 11:09:38 xymonlaunch starting 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Loading tasklist configuration from /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Cannot open directory 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Loading hostnames 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Loading saved state 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Setting up signal handlers 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Setting up xymond channels 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Setting up logfiles

Yanni,
All directives for xymon related apache directories ( including cgi-* ) are already included in xymon-apache.conf, so you need just to make sure that the file itself is included into main apache config ( httpd.conf )
if you placed xymonpasswd into /etc/httpd/ folder - you need to edit xymon-apache.conf file and modify location of the file. Also - if not using groups for apache authentication - remove or comment corresponding lines from xymon-apache.conf.
When done - check syntax of the config ( apachectl -t ) and restart apache ( apachectl restart ) using root account. Under user xymon - start server ( in your case "/opt/xymon/server/xymon.sh start" )
if everything is OK - you should be able to see something at http://YOURWEBHOST/xymon/
If something is not working - check log files ( apache or xymon )

Hi Alex
Please allow me to mention what I have done so far.
All xymon related directores (cgi-bin, cgi-secure, client, data, server, webpages, xymon-cgi, xymon-seccgi) are inside
/opt/xymon.
After searching about configuring apache online, I found out that in order for Apache to execute CGI scripts
I need to edit the "access.conf" file by adding a section like this:
<Directory /opt/xymon/cgi-bin> Options ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl </Directory>
I did that. Next I read that I should create a special location called alias to the actual CGI directory and then edit my "httpd.conf" file and add the line below:
'ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /opt/xymon/cgi-bin/'
I've done that as well.
Next I followed your instructions on the link you send me.
I run:
'htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/xymonpasswd admin' and entered password.
I finally found "xymon-apache.conf" and copied it to /etc/httpd/conf.d/
but I am a bit confused about the 'sed' command.
Is the directory at the end stops at 'httpd'?
Many thanks

Hi,
Usually you'll need to append a slash to the URL - ie. http://server/xymon/ - otherwise you try to hit a file named xymon, which doesn't exist.

Try switching to the xymon user and changing to /opt/xymon/server/etc/. My guess is that one of the directories in that path is not readable by the xymon user. If a directory is not readable, subdirectories appear to be non-existent.

I can not see why it can't open 'tasks.cfg'.
Try switching to the xymon user and changing to /opt/xymon/server/etc/. My guess is that one of the directories in that path is not readable by the xymon user. If a directory is not readable, subdirectories appear to be non-existent.

Yanni,
/var/www/html is most likely the Documentroot for your apache server and server is trying to find /xymon there because the Alias is not defined properly
The warnings from apache config test shows the same problem
so check httpd.conf, make sure that Xymon's aliases are defined correctly and only once probably you have defined them manually in the main config and included xymon-apache.conf later ...

Why is it looking in /var/www/html/xymon where there is indeed no such file (xymon). It should look inside
/opt/xymon/server/www/. I am not sure but I think the problem is somewhere in apache.
Many thanks

Yes, this looks like an Apache "Alias" problem. What does this show:
egrep -i '^[^#].*(include|alias)' /etc/httpd/*.conf /etc/httpd/*/*.conf

Your egrep output doesn't show the "Alias" line 1011 of httpd.conf. This is because my egrep was trying to be too clever and won't match "Alias" at the start of a line. The same would be true for "include" directives. Can you send what this shows:
grep -i "alias" /etc/httpd/conf/*.conf grep -i "include" /etc/httpd/conf/*.conf
Is there a reason why you're using "/opt/xymon" in your URL path instead of say "/xymon"? My Alias command looks like this:
Alias /xymon/ "/var/lib/xymon/www/"
I can't think why this would be a problem. Just a curiosity.
From what you have shown, it seems you have defined ScriptAlias twice: once in httpd.conf and once in xymon-apache.conf. You should remove all Xymon configuration from httpd.conf and instead let the settings in xymon-apache.conf be taken by Apache when it includes the file. You will have either "include *.conf" or "include xymon-apache.conf", and so you don't need to add anything into httpd.conf.
Cheers Jeremy
