I've been banging my head on the wall as far as a monit problem - the monitrc file always generates syntax errors! I've done as the tutorial suggested and have in monit.d --snip-- set daemon 60 set logfile syslog facility log_daemon # Send emails trough this mailserver set mailserver localhost # Set the From address of the alert emails set mail-format { from: [email protected] } # Send alerts to this address set alert root@localhost set httpd port 2812 and SSL ENABLE PEMFILE /var/certs/monit.pem allow admin:mypassword # Monitor the pure-ftpd service check process pureftpd pidfile /var/run/pure-ftpd.pid start program = "/usr/bin/systemctl start pure-ftpd" stop program = "/usr/bin/systemctl stop pure-ftpd" if failed port 21 protocol ftp then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout --snip-- now the syntax above is NOT what is given in the documentation but it is what was given in the tutorial. I ALWAYS get syntax errors : May 25 16:23:30 ns9 monit: /etc/monit.d/monitrc:19: syntax error 'check process ' May 25 16:23:30 ns9 monit: /etc/monit.d/monitrc:19: syntax error 'check process ' May 25 16:23:30 ns9 systemd: monit.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE now tutorial says 'with pidfile' and doc says 'pidfile' but both give errors. what am I missing? ALSO - a fun question. centos 7 comes with php 5.4 I need php 5.6 to install nextcloud. I see various pages on how to do the upgrade. is there any reason NOT to upgrade to 5.6? I'm running perfect server centos 7 with postfix/apache/ etc and ispconfig 3
ANSWERING my own monit question! my password contains the character '#' and that blows it up! have to escape the password with double-quotes! LOL
if you don't need php 5.6 you should consider upgrading to php 7.2 ^^ doesn't the epel provide 5.6 or newer?
