[hobbit] Fwd: Need help

[Alan Sparks]

Probably true.  It's quite likely not a good idea to install under
/root.  Would suggest you perhaps made a new user account (xymon), with
a home directory, say /home/xymon, and installed there. 

Also, your specific error is because you do not have the 'alias' module
in your Apache configuration.  Check /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for
something like:
LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so
This should be there and not be commented out.
