[xymon] Forbidden : You don't have permission to access /xymon/index.html on this server.

No, that's not what was stated.

You need the original httpd.conf file. It lives in /etc/httpd/conf
Then you put the hobbit-apache.conf file, named as is, into /etc/httpd/conf.d. This is a directory for additional config files.

I still think your problem is file and directory ownership. Your web directory, which I'm going to guess is
/home/hobbit/server/www is owned by the xymon or hobbit user. Next your web server is being run by apache, and apache has no permissions to get to /home/hobbit/server/www.

You need to do one of a couple of things. The best of which is to get apache and xymon users in the same group and have the web directory and it's files in that group.  This is basic Unix admin stuff, not an issue with Xymon.

Hi Craig,

If i put the whole file(hobbit-apache.conf) in the /etc/httpd/conf/ path and rename it into httpd.conf and restart the service httpd then its getting failed.

With Regards,
Jayanta.

Just put the whole file in the httpd/conf.d directory and then restart apache, its easier to update it in the future if you keep the file separate.

Hi Henrik,


I already appended following:

#cat /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbit-apache.conf >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

After that I restart apache.
Still i am facing following error.

With Regards,
Jayanta.

        Make sure you have configured Apache with the configuration
        provided in the $XYMONHOME/etc/xymon-apache.conf, and done a
        reload of the Apache configuration.


        Regards,
