I have set up a new test server and made the permissions as wide open as possible. I still get a cgi error: <div align=center> "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested..." </div> 1. All cgi files in /usr/local/nagios/lib/cgi are 0755 owned by nagios:apache. 2. My cgi.cfg looks like this: main_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share url_html_path=/nagios show_context_help=0 use_authentication=0 default_user_name=guest authorized_for_system_information=* authorized_for_configuration_information=* authorized_for_system_commands=* authorized_for_all_services=* authorized_for_all_hosts=* authorized_for_all_service_commands=* 3. My httpd Include file for nagios (/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf) looks like this: ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/lib/cgi/ <Directory /usr/local/nagios/lib/cgi/> Options ExecCGI order deny,allow deny from all allow from all </Directory> Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/ <Directory /usr/local/nagios/share/> Options None order deny,allow deny from all allow from all </Directory> 4. The web page shows me logged in as 'guest'.

If mod_auto.so is not loaded, you will not be able to authorize, also check all other web server switches that may affect this item. Problem might not be Nagios at all, I have never had a problem on Red Hat or Sun Solaris 6,8 or 9 if one sets the Apache web server conf file up correctly, and the permissions on Nagios per the docs. Sincerely Larry Bills jeff vier wrote: While not ideal, have you tried opening up permissions on things? a `chmod -R 777 /path/to/cgis /path/to/nagios` isn't something you'd want to leave live, but it'll at least "fix" the problem enough to let you know if it's a file permissions problem
