<p style="margin: 0px;">Hi Jeremy</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">First of all, let me know if you ever visit london and the beers are on me.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span>I can see the initial xymon page :))) I can finally start adding hosts now and use it.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I removed the entries from the apache-config file and copied the xymon-apache.conf to etc/httpd/conf.d.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Restarted apache then typed servername/xymon and it worked.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">When I copied xymon-apache.conf the file was already in /etc/httpd/conf.d because I was prompted to overwrite it.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">I don't know what I was doing wrong before. I guess I messed up the apache-config file and not knowing much about it I</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">couldn't understand what was going on but since I am planning to use xymon I should find some apache information and try to understand what each line means and does.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Thank you very much for your detailed explanation to my posts and for the HowTo's.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Many thanks</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Yanni</p>
