[Xymon] Not able to access Xymon GUI

Did you install the necessary development packages; such as, rrdtool-devel?  The fact that it is choking on the .h files would lead me to believe that they have not been installed.

Yep, I did that by giving 755 permissions. May I know if the below error are cause of issye:-
Checking for C-ARES library ...
test-cares.c:5:18: fatal error: ares.h: No such file or directory
 #include <ares.h>
                  ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [test-compile] Error 1
ERROR: Cannot compile using c-ares library.
The system C-ARES library is missing or not usable. I will use the version shipped with Xymon


Checking for RRDtool ...
Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x
test-rrd.c:3:17: fatal error: rrd.h: No such file or directory
 #include <rrd.h>
                 ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [test-compile] Error 1
ERROR: Cannot compile with RRDtool.
ERROR: Linking with RRDtool fails
RRDtool include- or library-files not found.

Any chance to help me with the root cause of issue and steps I can resolve??

Kindly, note that I had installed rrdtool-1.4.8-9.el7.x86_64.rpm package.

Check the permissions on the directory, that the xymon user can write to it. Check the xymongen log for trouble.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the quick update. But, I was waiting for 2hrs still I couldnt get the file. I even restarted the xymon and apache server.

I'm still getting forbidden error. If I change the permissions of my xymon folder to 775 I can able to get the folder structure ... 😑

It takes a few minutes for xymongen to make the index.html. Until then you usually get a directory listing.

Cheers

Hi Support,

I'm working on the installation of xymon on AWS cloud. Below, is my system information:-

[root at ip-ip xymon]# arch
x86_64
[root at ip-ip xymon]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)
[root at ip-ip xymon]# uname -a
Linux ip-ip.ap-south-1.compute.internal 3.10.0-327.10.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Jan 23 04:54:55 EST 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root at ip-ip xymon]#


After extracting Xymon software, I executed ./configure --server, but I'm getting below exceptions:-
./configure --server --rrdinclude /root/rrdtool-1.5.5/

Configuration script for Xymon

This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon

Checking your make-utility
Checking pre-requisites for building Xymon

Checking for fping ...
Xymon has a built-in ping utility (xymonping)
However, it is not yet fully stable and therefore it
may be best to use the external fping utility instead.
I could not find fping on your system
Do you want to use xymonping [Y/n] ?
y
OK, I will use xymonping.


Checking for PCRE ...
Compiling with PCRE library works OK
Linking with PCRE library works OK

ERROR: Linking with RRDtool fails
RRDtool include- or library-files not found.
These are REQUIRED for trend-graph support in Xymon, but Xymon can
be built without them (e.g. for a network-probe only installation.

RRDtool can be found at http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/
If you have RRDtool installed, use the "--rrdinclude DIR" and "--rrdlib DIR"
options to configure to specify where they are.

Continuing with all trend-graph support DISABLED


Since, system ignored this exceptions I continued with my other installation steps. But, post installation I'mnot getting the GUI screen. When I access the application with xymon context path I only get the folder structure.

Could you please help me?/
