Greetings all, CGI access problem

[Clair Johnson]

Thanks all for the help.

I've found what my problem was. The installation of the new version created a sample conf file in apache2 conf.d folder witch overridden my original web server configuration.

I've deleted this sample and everything went back to normal.

Many thanks to everybody

Kind regards 
Clair Johnson

Nagios doesn't present the authentication dialog, your web server does. This parameter only controls whether nagios pays attention to the username it gets from your web server.

You have htaccess enabled in your web server, either in it's config file (httpd.conf if using apache) or via a .htaccess file in the nagios sbin directory. If in httpd.conf, remove things like AuthType, AuthUserFile, etc related to nagios. If you find a .htaccess file, remove it or rename it.

If you need more specific information, detail the steps you took during your upgrade, what OS you are using, what web server you are using and any guides you might have used during installation.
