THX!

Hi psix,

What do you mean you do not have permission to access nagios?
Is it on a web interface? Is it in the logs?

Assuming it is on the web interface, you have to allow apache to access /nagios/.

Here is the kind of definition you have to put in the Apache definition for nagios. I know that I have defined one in /etc/nagios2 then asked apache to read the file.

HTH

If you have any other question pls let us know!

Did you restart / reload apache?

Did you check the logs for nagios and apache?

Can you paste, using the "["CODE] "["/CODE] your apache configuration for nagios?
Are you sure you have an include from the main apache configuration file to the nagios configuration file?

Please let me know
