Did you start xymon on the server?  You should be able to access it via

   http://server.domain.com/xymon/

for whatever server.domain.com you installed it on.  i don't know if that
trailing slash is still necessary, but it doesn't hurt to use it.

I removed the linked file and copied the original to the directory and it
starts up – THANKS!****

** **

I can now access a web page in the /var/www/html directory but I cannot
access the xymon web pages.****

** **

index.html is ‘helo’ per the instructions and it and any other web page I
place in /var/www/html works.****

** **

How do I access the Xymon system?****

Is it the same as before?  http://monitord.csw.l-3com.com/xymon****

Or am I looking at the wrong URL?****

Apache can't read /etc/httpd/conf.d/xymon-apache.conf, which appears to be
a link to  /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf****

** **

Either:     chown  apache.apache   /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf
****

** **

Or:          chmod 644  /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf****

** **

should fix it.  You may also need to open up permissions for Apache to get
into /home/xymon/server/etc.****
