Apache can't read /etc/httpd/conf.d/xymon-apache.conf, which appears to be a link to /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf

Either: chown apache.apache /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf

Or: chmod 644 /home/xymon/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf

should fix it. You may also need to open up permissions for Apache to get into /home/xymon/server/etc.
