Yanni,
/var/www/html is most likely the Documentroot for your apache server
and server is trying to find /xymon there because the Alias is not
defined properly
The warnings from apache config test shows the same problem
so check httpd.conf, make sure that Xymon's aliases are defined
correctly and only once
probably you have defined them manually in the main config and
included xymon-apache.conf later ...

Also when I restart apache I get the following warnings:
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1011 will probably never match because it

[ OK ]
These lines are:
Line 1011: Alias /opt/webpages/ "/opt/xymon/server/www/"
Line 1018: ScriptAlias /opt/xymon/xymon-cgi/ "/opt/xymon/cgi-bin/"
Line 1026: ScriptAlias /opt/xymon/xymon-seccgi/ "/opt/xymon/cgi-secure/"
and I can see these errors in the apachelog:

Why is it looking in /var/www/html/xymon where there is indeed no such file
(xymon). It should look inside
/opt/xymon/server/www/. I am not sure but I think the problem is somewhere
in apache.
Many thanks

My 'xymonlaunch.log' looks like this:
2011-10-06 11:09:38 xymonlaunch starting
2011-10-06 11:09:38 Loading tasklist configuration from
/opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg
2011-10-06 11:09:38 Cannot open directory
I can not see why it can't open 'tasks.cfg'.
Try switching to the xymon user and changing to /opt/xymon/server/etc/.
My
guess is that one of the directories in that path is not readable by the
xymon user. If a directory is not readable, subdirectories appear to be
non-existent.
Cheers
