Hi,
I read the doc before start posting here. I have Nagios configured in Ubuntu Server 8.04 as I said before. Now look like I touch any file because when I try to access to "Service Detail" item I get this error:

It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the services 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 check also the corresponding to authentication/authorization topic in doc but I can't find where the problem is. I just touch the contact address in /usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg file and now the content look like this:

define contact{
        contact_name                    nagiosadmin             ; Short name of user
        use                             generic-contact         ; Inherit default values from generic-contact template (defin$
        alias                           Nagios Admin            ; Full name of user
        email                           rperezm at uci.cu          ; <<***** CHANGE THIS TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ******
        }

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       admins
        alias                   Nagios Administrators
        members                 nagiosadmin
        }

So where is the error? Why I can't access to this item?
Cheers and thanks in advance
