It should look inside /opt/xymon/server/www/. I am not sure but I think the problem is somewhere in apache. Many thanks Yanni

My 'xymonlaunch.log' looks like this:
2011-10-06 11:09:38 xymonlaunch starting 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Loading tasklist configuration from /opt/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg 2011-10-06 11:09:38 Cannot open directory
I can not see why it can't open 'tasks.cfg'.
Try switching to the xymon user and changing to /opt/xymon/server/etc/. My guess is that one of the directories in that path is not readable by the xymon user. If a directory is not readable, subdirectories appear to be non-existent.
Cheers Jeremy
