[Xymon] Setting up xymon

[Michael Brown]

Sorry this is taken me a while to get back. I have not been feeling well
with the dramatic temperature changes here of late.

The issues I had Jeremy assisted in solving and we did the following:

-Edited apache2.conf to change LogLevel "info" to "warn". This showed that
apache was not looking in /var/lib/xymon/www/ but at /var/www/html/xymon.
The /etc/apache2/conf.d/xymon was not being parsed.

-A conf file was found in /etc/apache2/conf-available/xymon.conf which was
a link to /etc/apache2/conf.d/xymon. A new symlink was created in
/etc/apache/conf-enabled that pointed to
/etc/apache2/conf-available/xymon.conf.

-Apache was restarted

-The permissions for the xymon pages were stating Permission denied so the
authen

-At this point, the error log started showing me the right errors.  But all
of the xymon pages were giving permission denied type errors. The "Order
allow, deny" and "Allow from all" were removed and only implemented one
line of "Require all granted"

-apache was restarted and errors were shown about the group file.

-The mod_authz_groupfile module was enabled by creating a symlink in
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled to the
/etc/apache2/mods-available/authz_groupfile.load.

-apache was restarted

Restarted apache, all good now.  I've made backup copies of the files I
changed.  Here are the files I modified or created:

After this all seemed to be working.
