Hi Alex
Please allow me to mention what I have done so far.
All xymon related directores (cgi-bin, cgi-secure, client, data, server,
webpages, xymon-cgi, xymon-seccgi) are inside
/opt/xymon.
After searching about configuring apache online, I found out that in order for
Apache to execute CGI scripts
I need to edit the "access.conf" file by adding a section like this:
<Directory /opt/xymon/cgi-bin>
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</Directory>
I did that. Next I read that I should create a special location called alias to
the actual CGI directory and then edit my "httpd.conf" file and add the line
below:
'ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /opt/xymon/cgi-bin/'
I've done that as well.
Next I followed your instructions on the link you send me.
I run:
'htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/xymonpasswd admin' and entered password.
I finally found "xymon-apache.conf" and copied it to /etc/httpd/conf.d/
but I am a bit confused about the 'sed' command.
Is the directory at the end stops at 'httpd'?
Many thanks
Yanni

Yanni,
You need to include xymon-apache.conf file in your httpd.conf, it's
location depends on the system you are using and on how the Apache
server was installed ( from repository or compiled )
but before - make sure that xymonpasswd ( and probably
xymongroups ) files are created. ( read the config file :) )
Actually - it is a good idea to understand syntax of Apache config
files ( at least check directives used in xymon config on
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ ) ...
Also, I have some notes on installing xymon in AWS ( amazon ) cloud
that could be useful for you -

Hi everyone
I am junior sysadmin at a college and after a few failed attempts I
successfully installed Xymon. No errors appeared after running 'make' and
'make install'.
At the moment I am trying to configure my web server(Apache/2.2.3 ) (which
is located on the same machine as xymon) and I am following the instructions
on the "installing Xymon" link
(http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/install.html) but I can not really
understand what changes I have to make. It says on the link that I have to
make the necessary additions to the apache configuration in
~/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf. What lines do I have to add/change and where
can I find this file?
As you can understand my apache knowledge is limited, I only installed it so
I can run Xymon. Could someone please help me?
Many thanks
Yanni
