Hi,

I've installed hiawatha and hiawatha-monitor on the same server.
I'm using Gentoo Linux.

Hiawatha seems to be working fine - I have reverse proxy setup for a few websites and no problem with those.
However, I am trying to setup the monitor, and I can't seem to get it right.

I am opening the website in the browser:
http://monitor.mydomain.org

and I see this:

» Be aware! Your connection is not secured by SSL/TLS.
Monitor setup
Enter your database settings in settings/website.conf and refresh this page.

... and Refresh button below

If I open:
http://monitor.mydomain.org/setup
I see same thing.

Now, if I open the file:
/usr/share/hiawatha-monitor/settings/website.conf

I see the following:
# Database settings
#
DB_HOSTNAME = localhost
DB_DATABASE = monitor
DB_USERNAME = monitor
DB_PASSWORD = monitor

I have mysql installed on the same machine.
I created the user "monitor" manually with password "monitor", refreshed the page, but the error still stays there.

What am I doing wrong?
I would really appreciate your help.

thank you,
Marcus

Hi Hugo, did you have a chance to view my question?
I feel there must be something trivial I am missing, but can't figure out what it is...

thanks a lot,
Marcus

Help, please ???

The Monitor website needs to be accessed via HTTPS, not HTTP. Otherwise, passwords will be send in plain text.

Also, change the password. Using default passwords is NEVER a good idea.
