I am running hobbit 4.2 on HPUX 11.11 - Web group other.

Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 - Web Group apache (default from Red Hat install CDs).

The point is if the user running your web server does not have access, then you will get permission problems. You have to specify the correct group for the web user at configuration time, so the install can get permissions correct.

Did you input the correct User/Group for the web user when you configured/installed Xymon?

Thank you very much.

I tried like http://192.168.1.50/xymon/ But /var/log/httpd/error_log said:

[Fri Jan 29 15:55:22 2010] [error] [client 192.168.71.55] (13)Permission denied: access to /xymon/ denied

Thank you.

Two arguing things in your email:

Alias /xymon/ "/home/xymon/server/www/"

I think your trying http://192.168.1.50/xymon

you should be trying http://192.168.1.50/xymon/

Dear All,

I installed xymon on my redhat linux. The installation is successful, but the web access failed.

Here is information:

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 "/home/xymon/server/www"

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

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

ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/home/xymon/cgi-secure/" <Directory "/home/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 /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitpasswd

USERNAME" # Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitpasswd 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 "hobbitgroups" file, and change the "Require" settings to require # a specific group membership. See the Apache docs for more details.

AuthUserFile /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitpasswd
AuthGroupFile /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitgroups
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 hobbitgroups.
# Require group admins

</Directory>

And,

the httpd log shows:
