trouble installing monit!

[Arkie]

I'm trying to install monit, but i cannot start it!

Code: Select all

pi@domoticzpi ~ $ monit reload
monit: The control file '/etc/monit/monitrc' must be owned by you.

[code#
set httpd port 2812 and
use address 192.168.0.184 # only accept connection from localhost
allow 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 # allow localhost to connect to the server and
allow admin:monit # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'
# allow @monit # allow users of group 'monit' to connect (rw)
# allow @users readonly # allow users of group 'users' to connect readonly
][/code]

What am i doing wrong, i first made a ramdisk with the wiki
So i changed "var/log/monit.log" to var/tmp/log/monit.log"

regards

Try with

Code: Select all

sudo monit reload

[Arkie]

ok that works but now i get the next fault:

Code: Select all

monit: Error opening the log file '/var/tmp/log/monit.log' for writing -- No such file or directory

I changed this to the RAM space i made with the wiki :var/tmp or should this be different?

It looks like the directory /var/tmp/log doesn't exist as monit will create the monit.log files, so either go into /var/tmp and mkdir log or just change occurences of /var/tmp/log/monit.log to /var/tmp/monit.log.

Did you got the email notifications to work ?
I had some trouble with it, can post my config

[Arkie]

I don't have a gmail account, so did not config it.
When domoticz restarts after a crash i'm glad it restarts, don't have to know it

sorry for bringing up this old thread, but I get the same error message. Hope someone can point me into the right direction?

Code: Select all

pi@domoticzpi ~ $ sudo monit reload
pi@domoticzpi ~ $ monit status
monit: The control file '/etc/monit/monitrc' must be owned by you.
pi@domoticzpi ~ $

Try

sudo service monit start

Oke trying to install monit because domoticz keeps going offline.
I thought maybe with monit see what happens, because also now we complete new install domoticz goes offline manytimes.

When trying to install monit, after i changed seconds to 300 and madeup ipadress.
In putty I get these messages:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ monit
monit: The control file '/etc/monit/monitrc' must be owned by you.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ monit status
monit: The control file '/etc/monit/monitrc' must be owned by you.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo monit
/etc/monit/monitrc:119: Error: syntax error '192.168.1.55'
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo monit status
/etc/monit/monitrc:119: Error: syntax error '192.168.1.55'
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

What am i doing wrong?

who can help me please...

I think you made a mistake in this part:

Code: Select all

set httpd port 2812
use address 12.34.56.789  # only accept connection from localhost
allow 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0     # allow localhost to connect to the server and
allow admin:monit         # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'

Can you post the part where you put "192.168.1.55" in?

[LJ80]

I have now this :

Code: Select all

use address localhost 192.168.1.1  # only accept connection from localhost
allow localhost 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0     # allow localhost to connect to the server and
allow admin:monit         # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'
admin @monit           # allow users of group 'monit' to connect (rw)
allow @users readonly  # allow users of group 'users' to connect readonly

And after checking status in putty I get this:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo service monit start
[ ok ] Starting daemon monitor: monit.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo monit status
/etc/monit/monitrc:119: Error: syntax error '192.168.1.1'

So i still did not get this work....

try this:

Code: Select all

set httpd port 2812
use address 192.168.1.1 			 # only accept connection from localhost
allow localhost 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0    	 # allow localhost to connect to the server and
allow admin:monit        				 # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'
# admin @monit           				# allow users of group 'monit' to connect (rw)
# allow @users readonly 				# allow users of group 'users' to connect readonly

Hi guys,

Just pulling an old thread out from the attic

I'm trying to get Monit to work. Followed the wiki on domoticz but i get to the part of setting up the webserver which doesn't work on my computer.
I'm trying to open the webpage but it doesn't load, i get the "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" message.

So i tried to see if Monit was running and the reply that i got from my command: "Monit status" was "Cannot open the control file '/etc/monit/monitrc' -- Permission denied" Anyone know what i'm doing wrong here??

Tried setting up the permission using: "sudo chmod 777 /etc/monit/monitrc" command. That didn't fix the problem, it only mad it worse because now i got the message "/etc/monit/monitrc:58: syntax error '!'
The control file '/etc/monit/monitrc' must have permissions no more than -rwx------ (0700); right now permissions are -rwxrwxrwx (0777)."

Please help. Thanks in advance
