Re: [Monitorix-general] permission to access /monitorix-cgi/monitorix.cgi
Hi Spud, Spud wrote: Hi, [...] You don't have permission to access /monitorix-cgi/monitorix.cgi on this server. If I log into the server start firefox as root it works fine. This is a common question being asked very often lately, perhaps it's time to include a new entry in the FAQ section. The new Monitorix 2.0.0 changed the location (on RedHat/Fedora/CentOS systems) of its CGI (monitorix.cgi) from '/var/www/cgi-bin/' to '/usr/share/monitorix/cgi-bin/' or whatever the $BASE_DIR option in '/etc/monitorix.conf' is pointing on. You don't need to reflect this change in the Apache configuration since Monitorix already did this for you with the file '/etc/httpd/conf.d/monitorix.conf'. In that file thought Monitorix restricts, by default, to 127.0.0.1 the only allowed IP to access the CGI: Directory /usr/share/monitorix/cgi-bin/ DirectoryIndex monitorix.cgi Options ExecCGI order deny,allow deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1 /Directory Just change the last line by something wider like this: allow from all And restart Apache for the changes to take effect: # service httpd restart Hope that helps you.

[Monitorix-general] permission to access /monitorix-cgi/monitorix.cgi
Hi, I have been using monitorix for many years now without problem on my fedora server until updating to 2.0. Following the instructions here www.monitorix.org/news.html I removed all the .rrd files and renamed the monitorix.conf before installing. Now when I try to access Monitorix I get Monitorix v2.0.0 Daily Weekly Monthly Yearly Click on daily hit OK and get this Forbidden You don't have permission to access /monitorix-cgi/monitorix.cgi on this server. If I log into the server start firefox as root it works fine. So I go looking for this monitorix.cgi to change the permission but I cannot find this file anywhere. [root@homer ~]# locate monitorix.cgi /var/www/cgi-bin/monitorix.cgi [root@homer ~]# cd /var/www/cgi-bin/ [root@homer /var/www/cgi-bin]# ls -al total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-02-03 14:11 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2008-07-15 05:38 .. [root@homer /var/www/cgi-bin]# Where the hell is this monitorix.cgi file because I'm completely lost here or am I heading in the wrong direction?
