Hello,
I've reinstalled xymon with following steps:
1) unpack the downloaded xymon binary version 4.3.28 in /tmp (as
root)
2) run configure script (as root)
A few info to note:
used mostly default values including
group-ID=nobody
IP-address of this host = 172.20.10.5
3) run: make (as root)
4) run: make install (as root)
5) Notes from xymon after the installation
You must configure your webserver for the Xymon webpages and
CGI-scripts.
A sample Apache configuration is in /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-
apache.conf
If you have your Administration CGI scripts in a separate directory,
then you must also setup the password-file with the htpasswd command.
To start Xymon, as the xymon user run '/home/xymon/server/bin/xymon.sh
start'
To view the Xymon webpages, go to http://centos_hp0/xymon
I'm kind of pausing at "You must configure your webserver for the Xymon
webpages and CGI-scripts"...
Any additional help is greatly appreciated.

I thank to everyone who has replied to my email, if I miss anyone, I do
apologize.
Ok, so I've got super confused and you know what, I'm going to start
everything all over fresh and clean -- that way, I can document it as I go
along. I will do followings:
1) shutdown xymon, and apache
2) I will even remove xymon ID and recreate it.
3) keep /etc/hosts.cfg
cat /etc/hosts.cfg
172.20.10.5 centos_hp0 # bbd http://centos_hp0/
4) remove xymon's stuff in /etc/httpd/conf.d
5) keep my test file for testing apache: /var/www/html/index.html
cat index.html
Welcome to Kern's webserver
(sorry, I'm a real novice with apache since I'm a DBA)
6) anything else should I do as parts of trying to uninstall xymon, then
reinstall?
Thank you!!

Looks more like an Apache config problem than Xymon. Do you have
FollowSymLinks set?
e.g.
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Then I would take a look at the apache error log, it's usually pretty
helpful in pointing out what the problem is.
