Yes that is what was meant, thanks for elaborating Paul.

Jayanta, have you tried just accessing a simple /index.html in your root 
web directory to make sure your apache user can access it? I normally 
use Redhat or Fedora and keep the default directory at /var/www/html for 
the web root and the file Xymon provided placed as Paul mentions sorts 
out allowing apache access to the subdirectories which in my case are 
installed under /usr/local which apache has read on.

Regards,
Craig

No, that's not what was stated.
You need the original httpd.conf file. It lives in /etc/httpd/conf
Then you put the hobbit-apache.conf file, named as is, into 
/etc/httpd/conf.d. This is a directory for additional config files.
I still think your problem is file and directory ownership. Your web 
directory, which I'm going to guess is
/home/hobbit/server/www is owned by the xymon or hobbit user. Next 
your web server is being run by apache, and apache has no permissions 
to get to /home/hobbit/server/www.
You need to do one of a couple of things. The best of which is to get 
apache and xymon users in the same group and have the web directory 
and it's files in that group.  This is basic Unix admin stuff, not an 
issue with Xymon.

    Hi Craig,
    If i put the whole file(hobbit-apache.conf) in the
    /etc/httpd/conf/ path and rename it into httpd.conf and restart
    the service httpd then its getting failed.
    With Regards,
    Jayanta.

        Just put the whole file in the httpd/conf.d directory and then
        restart apache, its easier to update it in the future if you
        keep the file separate.

        Hi Henrik,


        I already appended following:

        #cat /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbit-apache.conf >>
        /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

        After that I restart apache.
        Still i am facing following error.

        With Regards,
        Jayanta.

I install xymon collector server and agent in the same

                Make sure you have configured Apache with the
        configuration
                provided in the $XYMONHOME/etc/xymon-apache.conf, and
        done a
                reload of the Apache configuration.
