[Xymon] Unable to view xymon web pages

[Jewel Makda]

I changed the first two lines in my apache2.conf file to:

Alias /xymon/  "/var/lib/hobbit/www/"
<Directory "/var/lib/hobbit/www/">

and now I can see the home page!  But when I click on anything I get:
/Forbidden "You don't have permission to access 
/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh on this server"/

Here is what my apache2.conf file looks like now:

Alias /xymon/  "/home/xymonuser/server/www/"
<Directory "/home/xymonuser/server/www">
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /xymon-cgi/ "/home/xymonuser/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/home/xymonuser/cgi-bin">
     AllowOverride None
     Options ExecCGI Includes
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/home/xymonuser/cgi-secure/"
<Directory "/home/xymonuser/cgi-secure">
     AllowOverride None
     Options ExecCGI Includes
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all

Thanks so far so the quick and helpful response!

I am not sure what you mean here.
