I just set up XYMON on Ubuntu 14.04. I followed all the procedures and I have determined that the main page I can get to but when I click on the other pages I get a 404 error. Could my xymon file in conf.d/ under /etc/apache2 be configured incorrectly?
Thanks

I think it takes a few minutes for the pages to first appear. Check again in a few minutes.

All right. I will check once I get home. If it does not seem to work what would be to post?

The web pages are all created by the xymongen process. It talks to xymond to fetch the status for every host/test, and puts all of the pages into $XYMONWWWDIR, for Apache to serve them - this includes the main page. If other pages aren't showing up, I'd be looking at the log for xymongen (xymongen.log). Also, worth checking the Apache log to see where it's looking for the files, and confirm that this matches what's defined in $XYMONWWWDIR.

I reinstalled everything. And this is what i found. Does the /usr/lib/xymon error causing what I am seeing.

Probably not. I'd say that's just a side-effect of you installing the package over itself. If you had uninstalled the package first, then installed it again, you probably wouldn't have seen that message.

Sorry this is taken me a while to get back. I have not been feeling well with the dramatic temperature changes here of late.
The issues I had Jeremy assisted in solving and we did the following:
-Edited apache2.conf to change LogLevel "info" to "warn". This showed that apache was not looking in /var/lib/xymon/www/ but at /var/www/html/xymon. The /etc/apache2/conf.d/xymon was not being parsed.
-A conf file was found in /etc/apache2/conf-available/xymon.conf which was a link to /etc/apache2/conf.d/xymon. A new symlink was created in /etc/apache/conf-enabled that pointed to /etc/apache2/conf-available/xymon.conf.
-Apache was restarted
-The permissions for the xymon pages were stating Permission denied so the authen
-At this point, the error log started showing me the right errors. But all of the xymon pages were giving permission denied type errors. The "Order allow, deny" and "Allow from all" were removed and only implemented one line of "Require all granted"
-apache was restarted and errors were shown about the group file.
-The mod_authz_groupfile module was enabled by creating a symlink in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to the /etc/apache2/mods-available/authz_groupfile.load.
-apache was restarted
Restarted apache, all good now. I've made backup copies of the files I changed. Here are the files I modified or created:
After this all seemed to be working.
Thank you,
