Nagios Web Interface

sanfran49 · 06-24-2003, 01:10 PM

I recently installed the Nagios software on my debian system. I managed to get it working to where I don't get any error messages when starting it up. However, after reading the documentation on setting up the Web Interface and doing what it said, I still cannot get the web interface to work.

Any suggestions,

Tony

What happens when you try to access the web interface? The more information you can provide the greater the chances of your question being answered.

I just get a HTTP 404 - File not found in
Internet Explorer . My apache web server is up and running because I am running my squid web reports.

so you put the required files in a place from which apache can server them, correct? did you create a new virtualhost for it? if so did you reload apache?

I put the following in the httpd.conf file for apache :

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>

I then restarted the apache web server. It still would not work.

Thanks,

tony

Are there any hints in your Apace error log(s)?? Exactly what URL are you requesting? http://server/nagios/ not just http://server/nagios yeah?

cheers

i had this problem also. apache could not read the files because they belonged to root. either change the ownership to apache or set them to nagios/nagioscmd and add nagios to the apache group.
