[Xymon] Solaris Xymon WWW index file missing

Wed Aug 15 14:47:22 CEST 2012

The “Cannot open directory /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.d” message is that that directory doesn’t exist.

If you created that directory, you could put files in it to start tasks, instead of adding those tasks to the /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg file.  It’s just like the  /etc /httpd/conf.d directory or /etc/xinetd.d directory.

I think the other email may be on the right track about permissions being wrong.

Hi,

First thanks for replying …

I cannot see anything in the xymond.log when trying to start the xymon 4.3.10
But  I see some strange stuff in:

Xymonlaunch.log:

You said the webpage doesn't work, not that the actual Xymon processes are not starting.

Have you looked in the Xymon log files to work out why Xymon isn't starting up?

Hi Nick !

Ehh I am sorry I don't understand your question but yes it is a standalone machine.  Virtual machine  running on HPVM a64hpIntegrityBL860ci2 hardware.
The server  environment is: HP-UX B.11.31  ia64 2 CPU's and 5 GB memory assigned.

Xymon 4.3.7 server and also client running (obviously) currently.
This was compiled on in the machine's environment and apart from an error that was specific for HP-UX and fixed using the method below.
#ERRORS compiling xymon =< 4.3.7

Otherwize all worked OK and installed beautifully.

But when I tried the newer versions xymon 4.3.8 and xymon 4.3.10
They both configured and compiled OK but when installed they did not run ... as I mentioned in the start of this post.

This is a standalone machine, both server and client I guess.  Is there a different set-up required for that?
