What results do you get from your URL when using a standard web browser
from a different machine?  Does the page resolve correctly?

The page opens up so that I can log in.


Could this be a firewall port issue? You mean from the xymon server ?

What results does your Xymon Server show on it's web dashboard?  Is it red? Green? Not working at all? Its green as shown below:

  What are
your expected results, vs the results you're actually getting? I would have like to see an Https status icon which im not seeing here. Similar to this as shown below
