RE: problem in installing monit on Red Hat Linux version - Fedoracore release 3

[Navin Kumar]

Hi Martin
Thanks for the update. Using monit command without any argument, the
monit daemon gets started fine. I can see /var/run/monit.pid file. After
this when I start all the service using the command - 'monit start all'
I get - monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with
http support?.
Also when I do 'monit status' I get - monit: error connecting to the
monit daemon. Could you suggest as to what can be the problem.
Thanks
Navin

Please run exactly this command without any additional argument:

   monit -c /home/ritesh/monit-4.6/monitrc

When you want to start monit in daemon mode, you must *not* use any 
argument. Look for example on the monit init script:

b/rc.monit?rev=1.10
