Smile Journey to Nagios: Fixing error and How to use


Hi,

I recently want to install nagios. I use the manual from this webpage

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/installing.html

After follow the page instruction then,

******************************************************************************************
Installing The Plugins

In order for Nagios to be of any use to you, you're going to have to download and install some plugins. Plugins are usually installed in the libexec/ directory of your Nagios installation (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/libexec). Plugins are scripts or binaries which perform all the service and host checks that constitute monitoring. You can grab the latest release of the plugins from the Nagios downloads page or directly from the SourceForge project page.

Setup The Web Interface

You're probably going to want to use the web interface, so you'll also have to read the instructions on setting up the web interface and configuring web authentication, etc. next.

********************************************************************************************

I install the plugin. The author say have to install php. So i install the PHP. The http://localhost/ can work.

Now the Web interface part.

I use this manual: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/installweb.html

Put this into the httpd.conf at /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
Options None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Then start back the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Now what should I do?

Actually what meanng of "yourmachine" in "http://yourmachine/nagios/".

Now I using localhost and Linux OS...

Thank you

Best Regards
Henry Jack

The webpage said

**************************************************************************************************** *******************
Verify Your Changes

Don't forget to check and see if the changes you made to Apache work. You should be able to point your web browser at http://yourmachine/nagios and get the web interface for Nagios. The CGIs may not display any information, but this will be remedied once you configure everything and start Nagios.
**************************************************************************************************** *****************

I browser http://yourmachine/nagios ---direct me to ---> http://www.yourmachine.org/

The page have a open office logo and Firefox logo and the sentence below
