My process for loading the system -- (Still fails on Apache access)
Freshly reloaded 64-bit Dell T105 server with
CentOS 6.5 and related utilities following:
System Monitoring with Xymon/Administration Guide/Compiling on CentOS -
Wikibook
at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Sstem_monitoring_withXymon/Administration_Guide/Com
...
XYMON was installed in /home/xymon home directory.
The only changes were to use CentOS 6.5 and the latest Xymon 4.3.17
The only item that was not available for downloading was the line:
wget http://iam8up.com/xymon-initd/xymon to have the startup in level 3.
The file was not found on the Internet ...
Changes:
What I had to do instead:
cp /home/xymon/xymon-4.3.17/rpm/xymon-init.d /etc/init.d/xymon
Also a change was made to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file from the
remarks in the file:
Original comments in the file:
#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/home/xymon/server/www">
Changed to:
[root at t105 conf]# diff httpd.conf httpd.conf.tom
317c317
< <Directory "/home/xymon/server/www">

1.) Clear out the logs in /var/log/httpd
cd /var/log/httpd

2.) reboot server with Apache 2.2.15 "httpd -v"
3.) Steps followed after reboot:
3A.) Login from SSH to print the enclosed information
3B.) http://<server-ip>
The Apache test page comes up
3C). http://<server-ip>/xymon/
The index of /xymon is displayed with:

NOTE: I never do get the "helo" message when accessing ???

I know that I have something setup incorrect, but for the life of me, I
cannot find it!
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated - this has been going on for me
for months.
My older setups never seemed to have any problem like this.
If you would like me to send you the httpd.conf file I will.
Thanks TomS
