If there's a nagios.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d, then my next question would be: Did you restart Apache (httpd) after installing and configuring Nagios? Post the contents of the nagios.conf file too please.

Are those directories pointing to the ones you installed Nagios into? Check if Nagios is installed in those directories. If not, then change the nagios.conf file to reflect the correct path(s).

Dear Eric
These Directives are pointed to the Nagios by default, I didn't make any change in them and these directives have Nagios installed. But still i'm getting same error. please check if there is any other thing i'm missing.

Apparently you've set everything up correct. Since you get a popup asking you for username and password your webserver is running and not blocked by IPTABLES. Are you sure about the username and password you give to access Nagios, typos, capital letters and so on?
