[hobbit] Need help. Hobbit installed, but web access fails.

Tue Feb 2 21:20:27 CET 2010

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.

Hello Bruce,

What group-ID does your webserver use [nobody] ?
apache

xymon:x:50108:50108::/home/xymon:/bin/bash

thanks.

Did you input the correct User/Group for the web user when you

Thank you very much.

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

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:

require
    # a specific group membership. See the Apache docs for more details.

    AuthGroupFile /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitgroups

    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:

[Fri Jan 29 15:01:20 2010] [error] [client 192.168.71.55] File does not
exist: /var/www/html/xymon

Thanks a lot,
