Hi Tom,

Can you describe what's happening when you try to pull up the pages? I'd
most likely wager that it's a permissions issue either in xymon writing to
the directory in question, and/or apache reading back out of the dir. As
always, SELinux is a possibility as well.

If it's CentOS 6.x, then apache would be 2.2 by default, so the
authentication issues you'd had earlier wouldn't be the cause.


Are you seeing anything in your current xymongen or Apache log files that
looks unusual?
