Munin uses Apache to serve its web pages. For this, we need to configure Apache.

Edit the default Apache configuration file:

Add the following lines to the file:

<Directory /var/cache/munin/www>
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /munin /var/cache/munin/www

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Restart Apache Server

After configuring Apache, we need to restart Apache to reload the configuration.

sudo systemctl restart apache2
