Re: [monit] http server could not create a server socket at port 2812 -- No such file or directory

Hi,

which Monit version it is? Is it debian packaged 5.0.3? The problem could be with contributed patch which was added to debian's monit distribution for name resolving. We had added the change to next monit release, but the original patch had multiple bugs which we fixed before merge and most probably original patch in debian won't work very well. You can try to compile monit-5.0.3 from official source code (http://www.mmonit.com/monit/download/) ... it should fix the problem. 

Thanks,

Martin

Neither of which exist, but monit seems to function anyway. Just can't start the http server on port 2812.

cheers

Subject: [monit] http server could not create a server socket at port 2812 -- No such file or directory

 

Hi,

 

We had been using Monit happily on a Debian box for a long time and could access the http server on port 2812 no problem. Today we wanted to add a service to monitor so we modified /etc/monit/monitrc and restarted monit with "/etc/init.d/monit restart" as usual. Monit is running, but we can no longer access the http server console.

 

Here's a log snippet:

 

monit[28691]: Starting monit daemon with http interface at [...snip...:2812] 

monit[28693]: Starting monit HTTP server at [...snip...:2812] 

monit[28693]: monit HTTP server started 

monit[28693]: Monit started 

monit[28693]: http server: Could not create a server socket at port 2812 -- No such file or directory 

monit[28693]: monit HTTP server not available 

 

To repeat the steps that caused the problem, all we did was edit the config file and restart monit with the init.d script. Didn't change any other config files, services, firewalls, etc.

 

Is anyone familiar with the error message "Could not create a server socket at port 2812 -- No such file or directory"?

 

thanks
