Tom, Is SELinux running on your system?
To find out, # sestatus
If Current mode is set to enforcing, then

1)      # setenforce 0

2)      # sestatus

3)      Current mode should now be set to permissive

4)      See if it works

Subject: [Xymon] (DTS) New installation of Xymon on CentOS 6.5 64 bit on Dell T105 server

I have loaded a clean CentOS 6.5 on my Dell T-105 64-bit server.
I have downloaded Xymon 4.3.15 to test with.
I created user xymon and group xymon on the system.
I install the system in /home/xymon on the server:
    ./configure
     ...
     All the defaults except that apache is run by apache not nobody

    make
    make install

I copy over the init.d script and edit the path to /home/xymon
I copy over the xymon-apache.conf file to /etc/httpd/conf.d directory
I get:
Not Found

The requested URL /xymon was not found on this server.

________________________________
Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at 192.168.200.151 Port 80


I added the "include /etc/httpd/conf.d/xymon-apache.conf" to the end of httpd.cof
/etc/init.d/httpd reload    or  restart
but still the same problem
I remove the xymon-apache.conf file and add the information to the bottom of the httpd.conf file
still the same problem
I did a chmod for the entire xymon path from /home /home/xymon etc to 777 rwxrwxrws
to see if the screen would come up
I still cannot get the xymon main screen to come up
I even added the Allow from 127.0.0.1
    Satisfy Any to the end of the last section from the Kaltura CE V5.0 online documentation
Same problem

I did also try just for kicks:
    1.  Added the bash shell to apache entry in /etc/passwd
    2.  Installed xymon in /var/www which is the home directory for apache
    3.  I could bring up the main screen with http://<server-ip>/xymon<http://%3cserver-ip%3e/xymon>
    4.  but when you clicked on any of the icons, they could not find the screen to bring up

I have been using the 4.3.0-0 beta release for 4 years with very little problems but now I wish to create a latest and greatest version so that I can port all my custom scripting.  At my old employer I monitored over 1,200 devices on a Dell Server.
I wanted to allow some of the routines that I have created to be shared but I cannot bring up my own server to test and upgrade the scripts.

I am at a loss at this point!
Please let me know where there is a complete installation HOW-TO for CentOS  6.5 for Xymon.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank You,
