if it aint broke...*sigh*

[David Adams]

Greetings List,
 
Please could someone put me out of my misery.
 
I was running the beta version of Nagios 1.0b3 (I think) and decided to upgrade to the latest version 1.0
now when i try to access the CGI's i get the error message
 
***It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the services you requested...***
 
So, i have an authentication/config issue somewhere. It seems my username and password are being accepted when i log on to the web server as it brings up the html etc, it's just when i try to access the CGI's I've set up nagios a couple of times and have never seen this error message before, it must be something to do with the old config.
 
Here is what i have done so far, and what i have done to try and solve the problem. 
 
Operating System OpenBSD 3.0
Webserver Apache/1.3.27
 
deleted old nagios source files
deleted /usr/local/nagios/*
 
Unzip, configure, make make install new version all worked fine with no errors
my compile options for nagios - ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin --with-htmurl=/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-grp=nagios
 
unzip configure etc of plugins all worked fine with no errors
my compile options for the plugins -  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin

 
Copied all the example cfg files into /usr/local/nagios/etc - here is a list
 
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios  nagios  17184 Mar 13 16:19 cgi.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   4478 Mar 13 16:17 checkcommands.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   1589 Mar 13 21:34 contactgroups.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   1949 Mar 13 22:00 contacts.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   1665 Mar 13 22:07 dependencies.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   1996 Mar 13 22:04 escalations.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   1478 Mar 13 22:01 hostgroups.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   5509 Mar 13 21:57 hosts.cfg
-rw-r--r--   1 nagios   nagios     40 Mar 13 22:44 htpasswd.users
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   4271 Mar 13 16:17 misccommands.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios  21356 Mar 13 16:39 nagios.cfg
-rw-rw----  1 nagios  nagios   3072 Mar 13 16:17 resource.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios  11892 Mar 13 21:52 services.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios  nagios   1592 Mar 13 16:17 timeperiods.cfg

edited all the cfg files to get a working config, ran the preflight check and got it to a point of 0 errors or warnings.
Reviewed httpd.conf and didn't need to change anything because all the necessary stuff was still in there from the previous version.
created the files /usr/local/nagios/sbin/.htaccess and /usr/local/nagios/share/.htaccess and inserted the following
 
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user
I then ran htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users (my username)

i added my old username and a new one, both exhibit the same problem. I have changed ownership of /usr/local/nagios/* to nagios and nagios (username and group name are both nagios)

I have looked in the apache logs and cannot see anything to do with authentication errors, i have checked the nagios logs and there is nothing helpful there either.

use_authentication=1 is set in cgi.cfg

The plugins are working, i can see all the results in the log files, i just can't see the pretty pictures :-)

Thanks in advance for any ideas, it's probably something stupid but i've scratched around for hours now and can't find it.

 

regards
