Good morning (or afternoon...check local listings).

I've been noticing this for quite a while, actually, going back to at least 4.3.27:

Starting xymon:                                            [  OK  ]

I'm guessing that this isn't actually my issue, but what I'm seeing, since upgrading to 4.3.28, is things like being unable to view the list of ghost clients:

Failed to retrieve ghostlist from server

As well as slowness in obtaining client "info", other statuses, or incomplete info returned:

Cannot load host configuration

I've already verified that everything in my installation directory is owned by my Xymon user and group and that the apache user is a member of the xymon group.

Any thoughts?
