The user:group running httpd doesn't have permissions to /var/lib/hobbit/www I expect.
name -i /var/lib/hobbit/www
Debian uses nobody for httpd, I think, so "nobody" needs to execute those directories and read to bb.html and such.
Easiest way is to have Xymon run with the apache user, or create a group that the two share, etc.

I changed the first two lines in my apache2.conf file to:
Alias /xymon/ "/var/lib/hobbit/www/" <Directory "/var/lib/hobbit/www/">
and now I can see the home page! But when I click on anything I get: *Forbidden "You don't have permission to access /hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh on this server"*
Here is what my apache2.conf file looks like now:
Alias /xymon/ "/home/xymonuser/server/www/" <Directory "/home/xymonuser/server/www"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/home/xymonuser/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/home/xymonuser/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/home/xymonuser/cgi-secure/" <Directory "/home/xymonuser/cgi-secure"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all
Thanks so far so the quick and helpful response!

Looks like Xymon is running, so that's all good.
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'
I am not sure what you mean here.
Now do an ls -lh bb.html and make sure it isn't blank
Now when you go to foobarhost.com/xymon/ (note the trailing slash) what page do you see?

I appended the xymon-apache.conf to the end of the apache2.conf file. When I run a netstat -an | grep 1984 I get the following: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1984 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:51250 127.0.0.1:1984 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:51251 127.0.0.1:1984 TIME_WAIT
When I search for the bb.html file it's located in: /var/lib/hobbit/www/bb.html /var/lib/hobbit/www/bb2.html

You can use nano or pico as an easier file editor.
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

I am trying to setup xymon on Ubuntu and for days now have not been able to get it working. I have followed the installation steps to a "T" and have created a user called "xymonuser" for xymon. I copied the xymon-apache.conf 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.
