Munin, Monit, Webalizer need help!

[lordshadow]

Hi, I've gone over the settings and I still get Forbidden message??

Since the howto above claims that there is a cgi script involved:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex index.

I had a look at my apache2.conf file which has cgi disabled.... I think (as I've never dealt with this before!)

    #
    # AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
    # actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
    # or added with the Action directive (see below)
    #
    # To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
    # (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
    #
    #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location

Would enabling any of these help?

This is also output of my error.log file from /var/log/apache2:

[Wed Jun 04 22:58:51 2008] [error] [client 192.168.1.40] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/munin/

What do you think the problem could be??

You can try to enable this line:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

and restart Apache.

It didn't work

I realy don't understand this as munin was working fine before I tried adding the password???

The only changes I made actually, following the link posted above were:

htpasswd -c /etc/munin/munin.passwd munin

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/munin.conf

Alias /munin /var/www/munin/

<directory /var/www/munin/>
        AllowOverride None
        Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
        DirectoryIndex index.cgi
        AuthUserFile /etc/munin/munin.passwd
        AuthType basic
        AuthName "Munin stats"
        require valid-user
</directory>

a2ensite munin.conf

Then restarted Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I just don't even know where to begin checking the problem!

[lordshadow]

Ok I've understood what's going on - Finally

The URL used to resolve for mydomain.com/munin and automatically change to */munin/index.html

however now it has stopped redirrecting so */munin is forbidden but */munin/index.html is fine?

How can I get Apache to redirect again?

[falko]

Add index.html to the DirectoryIndex line.

[lordshadow]

Thanks so much that worked!

Is there a way to recover or add plugins like when munin first launches it autodetects alot of services? The reason I am asking is because the NTP plugin stopped functioning after my servers host name changed. I have deleted the file from /etc/ntp/plugins but I don't know how to add it again for it to work properly.

Also is there a way to password Webalizer as I have googled but found nothing?

What's the output of

ls -la /etc/munin/plugins/

? What's in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node?

You can do this with .htaccess. You can find an example how to do this here: http://www.howtoforge.com/server_mon...it_debian_etch (chapter 3).

I never had any NTP section even from the start when the NTP file was in: /etc/munin/plugins/
Somehow Munin managed to auto-generate the NTP part but then lost it due to a DNS change.



Also I have been to the website given but my directory structure is slightly different from the howto which I think is what got me stuck when I attempted it the first time then switched and didn't use the .htpasswd and access for Munin.

To do this, we create an .htaccess file in /var/www/www.example.com/web/monitoring:

vi /var/www/www.example.com/web/monitoring/.htaccess

This is the directory tree for webalizer on my Debian Etch build:

kayasaman@OptiplexGX110:/var/www/webalizer$ ls
ctry_usage_200804.png   hourly_usage_200804.png  usage_200806.html
ctry_usage_200805.png   hourly_usage_200805.png  usage.png
ctry_usage_200806.png   hourly_usage_200806.png  webalizer.current
daily_usage_200804.png  index.html               webalizer.hist
daily_usage_200805.png  usage_200804.html
daily_usage_200806.png  usage_200805.html

Would this mean that I would put the .htaccess and .htpasswd files in/var/ww/webalizer???

Put the .htaccess file in munin's output directory (I'm not sure if it is /var/www/webalizer on your system) and the .htpasswd file somewhere outside your document root, but make sure that you specify the correct path to it in .htaccess.

Sorry are we geting mixed up with topics here because I'm trying to solve 2 things at once!

With the .htaccess and .htpasswd, I want that for webalizer not Munin as I've already got a username and password for Munin via a different method.

For Munin I ask above for the NTP plugin and posted the result as requested.

Sorry if there was a mix up
