I have a group that changed out their web equipment on us today, and now am
finding that Intermapper is claiming their web servers are down.


I'm getting a "Reason:  [HTTP] Unexpected greeting from port 90. (<?xml
version=" in the status window.

The server responding at port 90 (not 80?) is not a web server. You should be able to confirm this with a web browser: http://address:90


InterMapper's HTTP probes sends a line with a GET request of the form "GET /path HTTP/1.0" following by some other standard stuff and then expects a response. The first line of the response must match "HTTP/" or something like it. If there is no match, InterMapper returns the "unexpected greeting from port" message.

If you want to test this new kind of server, you might try the "Basic TCP" and "Custom TCP" probes. They can both test that the first line returned by the server contains "<?xml version=".

I tried tweaking the the HTTP Probe string to verify to <?xml but that
proved not to fix the problem.

The problem is whatever software they are using, all web pages first lines
are:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>

Does anyone know how to fix this so both the HTTP and HTTPS probes work
correctly? I have monitoring showing down for these servers and really need
to get them back online. Any help anyone can give me would be really
appreciated.
