The GridMonitor uses the Apache webserver including the PHP extension mod_php to generate and deliver the HTML pages. Version 1.3 and 2.0 of Apache and version 4 and 5 of mod_php are supported. Currently, only Linux istallations of Apache are supported. Installing the GridMonitor GUI package requires about 10MB of disk space located in /opt.

To install the graphical user interface for the GridMonitor, the RPM package psgridmon-<version>-noarch.rpm must be installed using the command

    rpm -Uv psgridmon-5.0.7-1.noarch.rpm
      

After configuring the GridMonitor GUI (see the section called “Configuring the graphical user interface (GridMonitor GUI)”) and reloading the webserver by running the command

    /etc/init.d/apache reload
      

the GridMonitor may be accessed using the link http://localhost/gridmon, whereas localhost must be replaced by the actual hostname, if accessed from different nodes.
