Hi everyone
 
I am junior sysadmin at a college and after a few failed attempts I successfully
installed Xymon. No errors appeared after running 'make' and 'make install'.
 
At the moment I am trying to configure my web server(Apache/2.2.3 ) (which is
located on the same machine as xymon) and I am following the instructions on the
"installing Xymon" link (http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/install.html) but I can
not really understand what changes I have to make. It says on the link that I
have to make the necessary additions to the apache configuration in
~/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf. What lines do I have to add/change and where can
I find this file?
 
As you can understand my apache knowledge is limited, I only installed it so I
can run Xymon. Could someone please help me?
 
Many thanks
Yanni
