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 </blockquote> </body> </html>
