It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested...

[Piers Cherryl]

I have installed Nagios 1.1 on my Fedora Core 1 system. I have
configured everything properly according to the Nagios documentation.
But I am getting the following error when trying to run some of the cgi
scripts from the web interface:

It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for
any of the hosts you requested... 
If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI and check the authorization options
in your CGI configuration file.

I have checked everything numerous times that I thought could be the
cause of the problem:

my httpd.conf contains the following:

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 have an .htaccess file in /usr/local/nagios/sbin and
/usr/local/nagios/share that contains the following:
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user


My /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users file contains an account for
user 'greg' and a password. The user greg is also defined in the
contacts.cfg file.

In cgi.cfg, user greg has access to run all cgi scripts. Also, I have
use_authentication=1 set.

[root at myserver /usr/local/nagios/etc]# grep greg *
cgi.cfg:authorized_for_system_information=greg
cgi.cfg:authorized_for_configuration_information=greg
cgi.cfg:authorized_for_system_commands=greg
cgi.cfg:authorized_for_all_services=greg
cgi.cfg:authorized_for_all_hosts=greg
cgi.cfg:authorized_for_all_service_commands=greg
cgi.cfg:authorized_for_all_host_commands=greg 
contactgroups.cfg: members                 greg,nagios
contacts.cfg: contact_name                    greg
contacts.cfg: alias                           greg cazian
contacts.cfg: email                           greg at myserver.mydomain.com
htpasswd.users:greg:CtKf0yGwVGl.g

I am being prompted to login to the Nagios web client, and am able to
login as greg without problems. The problems arise when I try to run
Host Detail, Status Overview, etc.
