You need to start Xymon so it creates bb.html and a soft link index.html
Ah, thanks Josh, so the Xymon process creates the index.html.
I did _try_ to start the service. It said "Starting Xymon: Xymon started", but maybe something went wrong.
Looking in the logs, I see a few things that might be a problem, knowing now that Xymon creates the index file:
$ tail /var/log/xymon/xymongen.log 2012-12-20 08:55:30 -> Recipient '<IP>', timeout 15 2012-12-20 08:55:30 -> 1st line: 'xymondboard fields=hostname,testname,color,flags,lastchange,logtime,validtime,acktime,disabletime,sender,cookie,line1,acklist' 2012-12-20 08:55:30 xymond status-board not available, code 7 2012-12-20 08:55:30 Failed to load current Xymon status, aborting page-update 2012-12-20 08:56:32 Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout)
So it sounds like maybe I need to get some host checks working before it will create the web interface?
Any thoughts on why the IP of the server itself would timeout during checks? I've verified that fping <IP> reports the host is alive, but beyond that I'm not sure where to look. I've also just tried disabling the firewall and restarting Xymon, with no luck.
Thanks!

Default xymon-hosts.cfg should include the server itself. Even if it is blank, I expect it would work and just have zero hosts output (it would include the HTML above and below it).
I can't say I know what those errors mean but I know just after ./configure.server && make && make install you can can start Xymon with the config entered from ./configure.server

So it looks like I spoke too soon. The files are now there, and the interface is accessible. The only thing I can think is that restarting with the firewall turned off must have fixed it.
Thanks for the help!
Check the xymongen entry in tasks.cfg. Make sure its creating the html files in the correct directory. Also check the permissions on your www directory, it has to be writable the by the user running xymon and readable by the user running your web server (typically either apache or nobody). The xymongen log files may also be informative.
Thanks, Larry Barber
