Problem installing nagios

[Carsten Rose]

Hi Heinz-Josef

Did you checked cgi.cfg ?

If you set (default):

use_authentication=1

Then you have to setup Auth on Apache

Create:

/usr/local/nagios-1.1/share/.htaccess
/usr/local/nagios-1.1/sbin/.htaccess

Content:

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios-1.1/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user


Create Passwords (first user):

/usr/apache/bin/htpasswd -c /usrlocal/nagios-1.1/etc/htpasswd.users <user>

Additional users.

/usr/apache/bin/htpasswd  /opt/nagios-1.1/etc/htpasswd.users crose


Or RTFM :-)
