Good morning Jeremy and thank you for your reply.

Also when I restart apache I get the following warnings:
 
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: [Tue Oct 11 10:43:24 2011] [warn] The Alias directive in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1011 will probably never match because it
overlaps an earlier Alias.
[Tue Oct 11 10:43:24 2011] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1018 will probably never match because it
overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
[Tue Oct 11 10:43:24 2011] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1026 will probably never match because it
overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
                                                           [  OK  ]
 
These lines are:
Line 1011: Alias /opt/webpages/  "/opt/xymon/server/www/"
Line 1018: ScriptAlias /opt/xymon/xymon-cgi/ "/opt/xymon/cgi-bin/"
Line 1026: ScriptAlias /opt/xymon/xymon-seccgi/ "/opt/xymon/cgi-secure/"
 
and I can see these errors in the apachelog:
 
[Tue Oct 11 10:18:18 2011] [error] [client 193.61.34.169] File does not exist:
/var/www/html/opt

/var/www/html/xymon
 
Why is it looking in /var/www/html/xymon where there is indeed no such file
(xymon). It should look inside
/opt/xymon/server/www/. I am not sure but I think the problem is somewhere in
apache.
 
Many thanks
Yanni
