I installed nmis using the install script with all defaults. Script appears to complete succesfully, but pointing to http://<ip>/nmis8 gives a 404 error. http://<ip> shows me apache default page.

Install log available. Thanks!

      Hi,

      Once you have completed the installation, NMIS8 will be available at the URL

      http://<ip>/cgi-nmis8/nmiscgi.pl

      Please let us know if this not the case.

        Sorry for the late feedback! I can see the site at http://<ip>/cgi-nmis8/nmiscgi.pl , but http://<ip>/nmis8 will give me a 404 error.

      A bit of an update: to make both urls /nmis8/ and /nmis8 work, edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/00nmis.conf (or /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/00nmis.conf if on debian or ubuntu), and change the first "Alias" line from

      Alias /nmis8/ "/usr/local/nmis8/htdocs/"

      to

      Alias /nmis8 "/usr/local/nmis8/htdocs"

      i.e. remove the trailing "/", then restart the apache. the next version of nmis will contain that configuration change.

        please note that the default apache config  sets up an alias for "/nmis8/", which does not trigger on "/nmis8" without the  trailing "/".

        i'd recommend that you use http://<your_ip_or_name>/nmis8/ as easy-to-memorize/bookmarkable url.
