I am trying to setup xymon on Ubuntu and for days now have not been able to

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
   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.

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

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'

Now do an ls -lh bb.html and make sure it isn't blank

Now when you go to foobarhost.com/xymon/ 

you see?

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

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

Thanks so far so the quick and helpful response!

I am not sure what you mean here.

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