[Xymon] Unable to view xymon web pages

[Josh Luthman]

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'

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?
