8) From Josh Luthman's advice:

    A sample Apache configuration is in /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf
    That goes in your httpd.conf

9) Saved file before modifying it
    cd /etc/httpd/conf
    cp -p httpd.conf httpd.conf.ORIG

10) Appended contents of file: /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf
    to the bottom of file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

11) Restarted apache (service httpd restart)

12) Started xymon: 
    /home/xymon/server/bin/xymon.sh start
    Xymon started 

12) http://centos_hp0/xymon
    or http://172.20.10.5/xymon

Hello, 
I've reinstalled xymon with following steps:1) unpack the downloaded xymon binary version 4.3.28 in /tmp        (as root)
2) run configure script                            (as root)
    A few info to note: 
        used mostly default values including 
            group-ID=nobody
             IP-address of this host = 172.20.10.5

3) run: make                                (as root)
4) run: make install                            (as root)

5) Notes from xymon after the installation
    You must configure your webserver for the Xymon webpages and CGI-scripts.
    A sample Apache configuration is in /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon- apache.conf
    If you have your Administration CGI scripts in a separate directory,
    then you must also setup the password-file with the htpasswd command.

    To start Xymon, as the xymon user run '/home/xymon/server/bin/xymon. sh start'
    To view the Xymon webpages, go to http://centos_hp0/xymon

 I'm kind of pausing at "You must configure your webserver for the Xymon webpages and CGI-scripts"... Any additional help is greatly appreciated.Kern --

I thank to everyone who has replied to my email, if I miss anyone, I do apologize.
Ok, so I've got super confused and you know what, I'm going to start everything all over fresh and clean -- that way, I can document it as I go along. I will do followings:1) shutdown xymon, and apache
2) I will even remove xymon ID and recreate it.3) keep /etc/hosts.cfg        cat /etc/hosts.cfg                172.20.10.5   centos_hp0      # bbd http://centos_hp0/
 4) remove xymon's stuff in /etc/httpd/conf.d5) keep my test file for testing apache: /var/www/html/index.html
                    cat index.html
                                     Welcome to Kern's webserver
        (sorry, I'm a real novice with apache since I'm a DBA)

6) anything else should I do as parts of trying to uninstall xymon, then reinstall?
Thank you!!Kern --

Looks more like an Apache config problem than Xymon. Do you have FollowSymLinks set?e.g.DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"<Directory "/var/www/html">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Require all granted
</Directory>Then I would take a look at the apache error log, it's usually pretty helpful in pointing out what the problem is.— Adrian Ball || user-81c4e435572d@xymon.invalid|| http://www.hp5.co.uk/Tel: XXXXX XXXXXX || Yahoo/AIM/MSN: adeatwollaton Mobile: XXXXX XXXXXX || http://www.facebook.com/ adrian.ball3______________________________
