You probably have your umask set more securely than the install program assumes. You can either use chmod to loosen up the permissions on the files and directories that Apache needs to read or use setfacl. You should also probably set umask in one of the login files for your xymon user, or Apache will likely not be able to read the files that Xymon creates.

Hi Craig,
How can I give read permission to apache user?
My “www” and “web” folder is present in the path “/home/xymon/server/www”
Offhand I'd say to put the apache user in the xymon group if you have such problems. But since a default Xymon install will normally have the permissions at 755 for folders and 644 for files in the Xymon www and cgi directories, the perms have apparently been mucked with on your system, perhaps the ownership as well. In a normal install, in my experience, apache would be able to read everything without any permission adjustments.
If find apache from root then following output I got:
/usr/sbin/apachectl
You mean, like "find / -name 'apache*'"? It's not clear how that would have any bearing on the discussion.
[root at RHEL5 sbin]# pwd
/usr/sbin
[root at RHEL5 sbin]# ls -lrt apachectl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3916 Jul 15 2009 apachectl
Yep, that's what it looks like on my systems, too. Your point?
