You need to add it to the monit configuration file ... it is part of default configuration file, snip:
--8<-- ## Monit has an embedded HTTP interface which can be used to view status of ## services monitored and manage services from a web interface. The HTTP ## interface is also required if you want to issue Monit commands from the ## command line, such as 'monit status' or 'monit restart service' The reason ## for this is that the Monit client uses the HTTP interface to send these ## commands to a running Monit daemon. See the Monit Wiki if you want to ## enable SSL for the HTTP interface. # set httpd port 2812 and use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost allow localhost # allow localhost to connect to the server and allow admin:monit # require user 'admin' with password 'monit' --8<-- See monit manual for details. > On 09 Nov 2015, at 16:30, frwa onto <frwao...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Martin > I got this error now when I did this monit start service1 ? > Where to add the 'set httpd statement"? > > Action start not possible - monit http interface is not enabled, please add > the 'set httpd' statement ?
