I changed the first two lines in my apache2.conf file to:

Alias /xymon/  "/var/lib/hobbit/www/"
<Directory "/var/lib/hobbit/www/">

and now I can see the home page!  But when I click on anything I get:
/Forbidden "You don't have permission to access 
/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh on this server"/

Here is what my apache2.conf file looks like now:

Alias /xymon/  "/home/xymonuser/server/www/"
<Directory "/home/xymonuser/server/www">
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/home/xymonuser/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/home/xymonuser/cgi-bin">
     AllowOverride None
     Options ExecCGI Includes
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/home/xymonuser/cgi-secure/"
<Directory "/home/xymonuser/cgi-secure">
     AllowOverride None
     Options ExecCGI Includes
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all

Thanks so far so the quick and helpful response!

Looks like Xymon is running, so that's all good.

Double check to see, in apache2.conf, this:
Alias /xymon/  "/var/lib/hobbit/www/"

Next do a
file index.html #you should see index.html: symbolic link to `bb.html'
I am not sure what you mean here.
Now do an ls -lh bb.html and make sure it isn't blank

Now when you go to foobarhost.com/xymon/ 
<http://foobarhost.com/xymon/>; (note the trailing slash) what page do 
you see?

    I appended the xymon-apache.conf to the end of the apache2.conf file.
    When I run a netstat -an | grep 1984 I get the following:
    tcp  0  0 0.0.0.0:1984 <http://0.0.0.0:1984>;          0.0.0.0:*

    When I search for the bb.html file it's located in:
    /var/lib/hobbit/www/bb.html
    /var/lib/hobbit/www/bb2.html

    You can use nano or pico as an easier file editor.

    Did you overwrite apache2.conf with xymon's xymon-apache.conf? 
    You are supposed to append it.

    It seems xymond is running.  Do a:

    netstat -an|grep 1984

    Then look at your web files and look for bb.html and bb2.html,
    probably in /var/html/www

        I am trying to setup xymon on Ubuntu and for days now have
        not been able to get it working.  I have followed the
        installation steps to a "T" and have created a user called
        "xymonuser" for xymon.  I copied the xymon-apache.conf file
        to my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and when I start the xymon.sh
        service as xymonuser I only see the "index/xymon" directory
        when I go to http://localhost/xymom/
         Here are some of my one of my log files:

        tail /var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.log
           Cannot access checkpoint file
        /home/xymonuser/srver/tmp/xymond.chk for restore
           Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984
        <http://0.0.0.0:1984>;
           Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use)
           Task xymond terminated, status 1

        There are errors at in my apache logs and when I start the
        xymon service it starts successfully.

        I have to say I am a newbie when it comes to linux and am
        still learning how to use vi.
