You helped me figure out the problem. When I configured xymon initially I wasn't sure which IP on this test box to use so I decided to set it to 0.0.0.0 thinking it would bind to all addresses. Apparently that's not the case. Once I changed the IP for XYMONSERVERIP in /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg. As soon as I made that change I'm able to get the xymon the xymon status page to come up. What's interesting is the xymonlaunch.log file still shows it's listening on 0.0.0.0 even though I modified the xymonserver.cfg.
The XYMONSERVERIP is not the bind IP address, but the inter-communications IP address. That is, what the modules within Xymon use to talk to the xymond daemon. In most cases you can use 127.0.0.1 for this, which is probably the default.
