[Xymon] Keep getting 403 Forbidden on /xymon

That got me a little further.  Now I just get a directory listing instead
of a 403.  The xymon web console still won't load.  Below is what's in the
access logs when I hit /xymon/.  Also found mod_access_compat is in the
configs and being loaded so not sure why the original config didn't work.
 I've also noticed some of the directories of xymon are empty like
/usr/local/xymon/server/www/html.  Is that normal?

00-base.conf:LoadModule access_compat_module modules/mod_access_compat.so
