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

[Craig Whilding]

Yes that is what was meant, thanks for elaborating Paul.

Jayanta, have you tried just accessing a simple /index.html in your root 
web directory to make sure your apache user can access it? I normally 
use Redhat or Fedora and keep the default directory at /var/www/html for 
the web root and the file Xymon provided placed as Paul mentions sorts 
out allowing apache access to the subdirectories which in my case are 
installed under /usr/local which apache has read on.

Regards,
Craig
