Hi Guys
I need some assistance with regards to setting up Xymon, I have seen it once or twice but the actual config itself I have never done.
I used the man pages etc. but I can't get my Xymon url to show the page, checked the log and I am getting the following.
[cid:image003.png at 01CFD37C.E3AA2DA0] [cid:image004.png at 01CFD37C.E3AA2DA0]
Then the error just repeats over and over.
Does anyone perhaps have an example of what needs to be setup that I can use to reference to mine to see what I did wrong.
Kind regards,

That's weird. The error message says that it's trying to load the task defined in tasks.cfg section [xymon]. My tasks.cfg has no [xymon]. The nearest match is [xymond]. Similarly, the command 'xymon' would have been defined in a "CMD" line, and my tasks.cfg has no such line.
You should check your tasks.cfg (and tasks.d directory contents) for invalid entries. A useful diagnostic is to dump the tasks like so:
xymoncmd sh -c '$XYMONHOME/bin/xymonlaunch --config=$XYMONHOME/etc/tasks.cfg --dump'
This will show you the tasks configuration after being parsed by xymonlaunch, which includes slurping in include files, stripping comments, de-duplicating entries, and dropping unrecognised keywords.

Hi Guys
I’m down to having this error. I know it’s due to a permission either on a folder or config file.
You don't have permission to access /xymon/xymon.html on this server.
Am I correct in saying that Apache wants to hit the xymon web page but it has not access hence the error.?

I'd guess an Apache configuration issue, yes. Of course, you should also check the permission on the *xymon.html* file to ensure it's readable by whatever user your Apache *httpd* process is running as.

We spent quite a while getting apache configured properly because documentation had changed over the years. Here were my steps (Ubuntu 14.04)
- Install latest from source using makdeb instructions and dpkg
- Enable CGI $ sudo a2enmod cgid
- $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf
- Fix Apache Startup error $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf Place this somewhere in the file: ServerName x <--- Where "x" is the hostname of your server
- Setup apache Alias $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf Paste the text below between </Directory> and </IfModules>
Alias /xymon/ "/usr/lib/xymon/server/www/" <Directory "/usr/lib/xymon/server/www/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews Require all granted </Directory> ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/usr/lib/xymon/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/lib/xymon/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Require all granted </Directory> ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/usr/lib/xymon/cgi-secure/" <Directory "/usr/lib/xymon/cgi-secure"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Require all granted # Password file where users with access to these scriptsare kept. # Create it with "htpasswd -c /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd USERNAME" # Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd USERNAME" AuthUserFile /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd AuthType Basic AuthName "Xymon Administration" Require valid-user </Directory>
- Fix a memory leak wih Apache/Ubuntu 14.04 $ sudo apt-get install libpam-smbpass
- Restart the Apache Server $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- Finally, configure hosts, mail settings, alerts, etc
I can provide more detailed instructions for any of these steps if you think they apply.

Hi Guys
I’m down to having this error. I know it’s due to a permission either on a folder or config file.
You don't have permission to access /xymon/xymon.html on this server.
Am I correct in saying that Apache wants to hit the xymon web page but it has not access hence the error.?

Looks to me like (the *xymonserver.cfg* variable) *$XYMON* isn't defined with an absolute path, and (the environment variable) *$PATH* does not include *~xymon/server/bin*.

You should check your tasks.cfg (and tasks.d directory contents) for invalid entries. A useful diagnostic is to dump the tasks like so:
xymoncmd sh -c '$XYMONHOME/bin/xymonlaunch --config=$XYMONHOME/etc/tasks.cfg --dump'
This will show you the tasks configuration after being parsed by xymonlaunch, which includes slurping in include files, stripping comments, de-duplicating entries, and dropping unrecognised keywords.

Hi Guys
I need some assistance with regards to setting up Xymon, I have seen it once or twice but the actual config itself I have never done.
I used the man pages etc. but I can’t get my Xymon url to show the page, checked the log and I am getting the following.
Then the error just repeats over and over.
Does anyone perhaps have an example of what needs to be setup that I can use to reference to mine to see what I did wrong.
Kind regards,

We spent quite a while getting apache configured properly because documentation had changed over the years. Here were my steps (Ubuntu 14.04)
- Install latest from source using makdeb instructions and dpkg
- Enable CGI $ sudo a2enmod cgid
- $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf
- Fix Apache Startup error $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf Place this somewhere in the file: ServerName x <--- Where "x" is the hostname of your server
- Setup apache Alias $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf Paste the text below between </Directory> and </IfModules>
Alias /xymon/ "/usr/lib/xymon/server/www/" <Directory "/usr/lib/xymon/server/www/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews Require all granted </Directory> ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/usr/lib/xymon/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/lib/xymon/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Require all granted </Directory> ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/usr/lib/xymon/cgi-secure/" <Directory "/usr/lib/xymon/cgi-secure"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Require all granted # Password file where users with access to these scriptsare kept. # Create it with "htpasswd -c /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd USERNAME" # Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd USERNAME" AuthUserFile /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd AuthType Basic AuthName "Xymon Administration" Require valid-user </Directory>
- Fix a memory leak wih Apache/Ubuntu 14.04 $ sudo apt-get install libpam-smbpass
- Restart the Apache Server $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- Finally, configure hosts, mail settings, alerts, etc
I can provide more detailed instructions for any of these steps if you think they apply.
