Keep getting 403 Forbidden on /xymon

You helped me figure out the problem.  When I configured xymon initially I
wasn't sure which IP on this test box to use so I decided to set it to
0.0.0.0 thinking it would bind to all addresses.  Apparently that's not the
case.  Once I changed the IP for XYMONSERVERIP in
/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg.  As soon as I made that change
I'm able to get the xymon the xymon status page to come up.  What's
interesting is the xymonlaunch.log file still shows it's listening on
0.0.0.0 even though I modified the xymonserver.cfg.

Also, I went back to verify the original apache issue by putting the out of
box xymon-apache.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d which still throws the 403
errors.  Have to modify the Directory blocks like below:

Comment/remove: Order allow, deny
                           Allow from all
Add:                    Require all granted

Might want to create this directory, if only to silence this warning
message.  But this shouldn't stop Xymon from working.

This is a warning sign.  It indicates that the xymongen process that
creates the web pages is unable to connect to the xymond daemon to find the
status.  This connection takes place over TCP port 1984.  Can do do the
following:

$ /usr/local/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd
$ echo $XYMSERVERS

This should show you how you have configured the Xymon server IP address
in xymonserver.cfg.  If it's not right, then different parts of Xymon won't
be able to talk to the main xymond daemon.

xymonclient.log

Not sure what's going on here, but probably not going to break anything
major.

Yeah, this is a problem.  It's only an issue on the client side, so should
not stop you seeing web pages.  But it needs to be fixed up if you want to
be able to monitor your Xymon server.

This appears to come from an attempt at executing a readme file.  Have a
look at the [xymonclient] section of /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg,
and confirm that the "CMD" parameter is
/usr/local/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient.sh.  If not, adjust this value.  If
it is, then check the xymonclient.sh script contents to see what the heck
it's doing.  Perhaps run it manually (under xymoncmd) and see if you get
the same output.
