I just recently tried to install 'monit' on a server which runs Ubuntu, though when I try to run monit it will always popup the following errors:

test:~$ sudo monit restart all

/etc/monit/monitrc:289: Include failed -- Success '/etc/monit/conf.d/*'

/etc/monit/monitrc:290: Include failed -- Success '/etc/monit/conf-enabled/*'

Cannot create socket to [SERVERIP]:8080 -- Connection refused

Below is the command I used to forward the port 8080 since I changed that in the /etc/monit/monitrc

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT 

#printed out when I save my IPtable 
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

I'm not entirely expecting the refused connection being my biggest worries here since I'm apperantly also missing 2 files, I have followed the installation instructions as per their own website.

Monit wiki for installation So right now I'm kinda at my end trying to get this to work.

why are you installing it from the source code and not from the ubuntu provided package ? is there is any specific raison for this ?

Did you create the referenced folders ?

Matching line in monitrc like include /etc/monit/conf.d/*

Referenced installation procedure is for M/Monit which is not Monit.

monit is the client tool to interact with monit deamon, so command monit restart all is a bit strange here.

The issue is with allow and use address in your "vim /etc/monit/monitrc"

set httpd port 2812 and
     use address localhost  # only accept connection from localhost
     allow localhost

Try to uncomment these lines. Restart the monit service.
