monit error in ubuntu

Posted on April 24, 2014

Hi there,

i followed this steps: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-configure-monit and installed and configured monit, editing the file:/etc/monit/monitrc

i added this lines to check for this services:

——————

check process apache with pidfile /run/apache2.pid start program = “/etc/init.d/apache2 start” with timeout 60 seconds stop program = “/etc/init.d/apache2 stop”

check process mysqld with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid start program = “/etc/init.d/mysql start” stop program = “/etc/init.d/mysql stop”

check process proftpd with pidfile /var/run/proftpd.pid start program = “/etc/init.d/proftpd start” stop program = “/etc/init.d/proftpd stop” if failed port 21 protocol ftp then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

——————

But monit is not running, when i run the command: monit start all i get:

monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support?

fixed, i just needed to uncommend the file :D

You need to set up the webservice first. To have only available over localhost, append the following to “/etc/monit/monitrc” <br> <br><pre> <br>set httpd port 2812 and <br> use address localhost <br> allow localhost <br><pre>

Done, then i just run: monit reload and then monit start all and give me the same error: <br> <br>monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? <br>monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? <br>monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? <br>monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? <br>
