I put a copy of xymon-apache.conf in /tmp, it also failed me:Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 1137 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /tmp/xymon-apache.conf: Permission denied

That sounds suspiciously like a selinux prolblem.  You could try turning
it off temporarily:

$ sudo setenforce 0

then start/restart apache

If that works you will have to fix the selinux problem.

OK, so I included xymon-apache.conf in file httpd.conf:
    head -5 /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf    include /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf

It is usually better to put Include directives at the end of httpd.conf:
