Ya, I finally figured it out after a couple days of beating my head against
the wall. I have Xymon running on Amazon AWS instance and if you use the
AWS web interface to 'restart' the server it auto reassigns IP's, which in
turn makes all my DNS settings wrong. So I added a static IP in AWS so it
shouldn't be changing anymore. I also found the IP setting in the
xymonserver.cfg file. I also added my IP statically to the /etc/hosts file
on the xymon server so I can edit at will and not rely on some DNS server
out there updating it's tables. Everything seems to be running smooth now.
Thank you.

My server got a reboot and the public IP got changed. Now whenever I
click any colored dot on my Xymon homepage it gives me this error.****
Cannot load host configuration****

All the suggestions I've found say that Xymon may not actually be running.
There are Start scripts in the /etc/rc#.d folders, and also I can manually
start and restart it from the command line with no troubles. What's going
on?****

I suspected a DNS issue but I left it overnight and it still has the same
issue this morning.****
