(DTS) Still trying to setup Xymon 4.3.17 on CentOS 6.5 - trouble with Apache Config
Tom Schmitt (dtsmon at gmail.com) 27May2014 information (in c:\date\xymon-installation.txt)
My process for loading the system -- (Still fails on Apache access)
Freshly reloaded 64-bit Dell T105 server with CentOS 6.5 and related utilities following: System Monitoring with Xymon/Administration Guide/Compiling on CentOS - Wikibook at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Sstem_monitoring_withXymon/Administration_Guide... ... XYMON was installed in /home/xymon home directory.
The only changes were to use CentOS 6.5 and the latest Xymon 4.3.17
The only item that was not available for downloading was the line:wget http://iam8up.com/xymon-initd/xymon to have the startup in level 3. The file was not found on the Internet ... Changes: What I had to do instead: cp /home/xymon/xymon-4.3.17/rpm/xymon-init.d /etc/init.d/xymon
Also a change was made to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file from theremarks in the file:

I know that I have something setup incorrect, but for the life of me, I cannot find it! Any assistance will be greatly appreciated - this has been going on for me for months. My older setups never seemed to have any problem like this. If you would like me to send you the httpd.conf file I will.
Thanks TomS
Check for a line like this in your httpd.conf (in Centos "extra" could be replaced by "conf.d")
Include /etc/httpd/extra/xymon-apache.conf
The file xymon-apache.conf sets alias and rewite rules that make xymon pages display on Apache.
Furthermore, the standard xymon rules let you acees the page from the url servername/xymon/ (with the trailing slash)

What Apache version are you using? I just upgraded my server to Apache 2.4 and they've changed how the redirects function in the configs. I had to modify my apache config to comply with the new way of doing things before it would work. This might be something to look into.

Xymon mailing list Xymon at xymon.com http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon
Is the xymon service running? The index.html in /home/xymon/server/www/ is created by xymongen process after startup of the xymon service.
You must change the DAEMON variable in the init script "/etc/init.d/xymon" like this:
DAEMON=/home/xymon/server/bin/xymon.sh
