Configure web server
====================

On the master, you need to configure a web server.

If you have installed "munin" through distribution
packages, a webserver may have been configured for you already.
Details of such packaged setups depend on your distribution.
For example in Debian (or derivatives) you may want to take a look
at ``/usr/share/doc/munin/README.Debian``.

If you installed from source, you may want to take a look at the following examples:
