I changed the first two lines in my apache2.conf file to:<div class="im"><br>
<br>
Alias /xymon/ "/var/lib/hobbit/www/"<br></div>
<Directory "/var/lib/hobbit/www/"><br>
<br>
and now I can see the home page! But when I click on anything I
get:<br>
<i>Forbidden "You don't have permission to access
/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh on this server"</i><br>
<br>
Here is what my apache2.conf file looks like now:<br>
<br>
Alias /xymon/ "/home/xymonuser/server/www/"<br>
<Directory "/home/xymonuser/server/www"><br>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews<br>
Order allow,deny<br>

Thanks so far so the quick and helpful response!<div class="im"><br>

Double check to see, in apache2.conf, this:<br>
Alias /xymon/ "/var/lib/hobbit/www/"<br>
<br>
Next do a<br>
file index.html #you should see index.html: symbolic link to
`bb.html'<br>

I am not sure what you mean here.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Now do an ls -lh bb.html and make sure it isn't blank<br>

Now when you go to <a href="http://foobarhost.com/xymon/" target="_blank">foobarhost.com/xymon/</a>
(note the trailing slash) what page do you see?<br>

Did you overwrite apache2.conf with xymon's
xymon-apache.conf? You are supposed to append it.<br>
<br>
It seems xymond is running. Do a:<br>
<br>
netstat -an|grep 1984<br>
<br>
Then look at your web files and look for bb.html and
bb2.html, probably in /var/html/www<br>

setup xymon on Ubuntu and for days now have not
been able to get it working. I have followed the
installation steps to a "T" and have created a
user called "xymonuser" for xymon. I copied the
xymon-apache.conf file to my
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf and when I start the
xymon.sh service as xymonuser I only see the
"index/xymon" directory when I go to <a href="http://localhost/xymom/" target="_blank">http://localhost/xymom/</a><br>
Here are some of my one of my log files:<br>
<br>
tail /var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.log<br>
Cannot access checkpoint file
/home/xymonuser/srver/tmp/xymond.chk for restore<br>
Setting up network listener on <a href="http://0.0.0.0:1984" target="_blank">0.0.0.0:1984</a><br>
Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already
in use)<br>
Task xymond terminated, status 1<br>
<br>
There are errors at in my apache logs and when I
start the xymon service it starts successfully.<br>
<br>
I have to say I am a newbie when it comes to linux
and am still learning how to use vi.<br>
