[Xymon] First time installed, and set up xymon, failed, NEED helps please.

[Root, Paul T]

I missed some of this thread, but don’t I remember that this is CentOS 6?


In that case, you should just put the xymon-apache.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d

Otherwise, if that’s not possible, for this error, this sounds like root can’t get to th /home/xymon/server/etc directory, or that file. Permissions, possibly selinux? Are you running selinux?

OK, I put it at the end of httpd.conf file, still failed:
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 1137 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf: Permission denied
                                                           [FAILED]

I put a copy of xymon-apache.conf in /tmp, it also failed me:
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 1137 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /tmp/xymon-apache.conf: Permission denied
                                                           [FAILED]

It is usually better to put Include directives at the end of httpd.conf:
