Problem after installation accesing nagios

[Fermín Galán Márquez]

Dear Andy,

Finally, it was not related with AuthBasicAuthoritative, but with authz_user
module. I've found the solution at:

Thanks!

On Apache 2.2 you need to have an Authoritative authorisation handler.

Lookup the AuthBasicAuthoritiative (I think) directive in the Apache
documentation, and this needs to go in the .htaccess file (or httpd.conf
file) where the htpasswd.users file is referenced.

(eg.
AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
Require valid-users
AuthBasicAuthoritative on
) etc.

Andy.
