I have used munin in several servers and this is the first time is taking me so much time to set it up.

When I telnet munin directly, I can list the services, there is no error at the logs and munin its being updated every 5 minutes. However no html files are created. I'm using the default location (/var/cache/munin/www) and I can confirm the permissions of that directory are set to munin.munin

(IP and domain has been changed)

munin.conf:

dbdir   /var/lib/munin
htmldir /var/cache/munin/www
logdir  /var/log/munin
rundir  /var/run/munin
[example.com;]
    address 100.100.50.200

munin-node.conf:

log_level 4
log_file /var/log/munin/munin-node.log
pid_file /var/run/munin/munin-node.pid
background 1
setsid 1
user root
group root
host_name example.com
allow ^127\.0\.0\.1$
allow ^100\.100\.50\.200$
allow ^::1$

/etc/hosts :

100.100.50.200 example.com
127.0.0.1   localhost

$ telnet example.com 4949

Trying 100.100.50.200...

Any ideas on why it is not working?

EDIT

This is how /var/log/munin/ log looks like after some days:
