Server Monitoring

[sohouk]

Is there a more clear explanation of how to set up server monitoring than the docs at http://docs.whmcs.com/Servers#Status_Monitoring

 

The docs simply say that to have this feature;

 

upload the status folder to a folder on the server and then enter the url to that folder.

 

The only file in the status folder is index.php so I uploaded that to a folder called 'status' on my server but nothing seems to occur when I click the Update Now link on the admin page.

I am assuming it means to upload to a folder under the /home/domain/public_html folder

 

All that happens is after a short while the http status boxes all say ‘Online’ but all the other boxes fill with dashes ( – ) and there isn’t any error.

 

Is index.php in the status folder the right one?

 

This is the only file in the whmcs/status folder referred to in the docs but I am wondering if it’s the correct one.

 

The docs at http://docs.whmcs.com/Servers#Status_Monitoring say

 

‘PHP Info output is disabled by default for security reasons so if you would like to enable it, you simply need to uncomment the line "#phpinfo();" (remove the #) within the index.php file.’

 

However, opening up the index.php files shows no such entries so I am not sure the file I have is the correct one. Or is that quote referring to a different file and topic?

Solved this now. Server permissions was the culprit.

 

Still no idea about the PHP Info bit though.
