<div>Hi James,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I created a file <strong><em><font color="#009900">nagios.conf</font></em></strong> under '<em>/usr/local/apache2/conf</em>' directory by typing the command <strong>sudo touch nagios.conf</strong>.</div>
<div>Then, I keyed in the <strong>ScriptAlias</strong> and <strong>Alias</strong> directives.</div>
<div>Then, I did a "<u>sudo make install-webconfig</u>", which was again unsuccessful.</div>
<div>Same error!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, I created the directories <em><strong>httpd</strong></em> & <em><strong>conf.d</strong></em> under the directories '<strong>/etc</strong>' & '<strong>/etc/httpd</strong>' respectively.</div>
<div>Then, I copied the <strong><em><font color="#009900">nagios.conf</font></em></strong> file into the <u>/etc/httpd/conf.d</u> directory using the command "sudo cp <em>/usr/local/apache2/conf/<strong><font color="#009900">nagios.conf</font></strong> /etc/httpd/conf.d".</em></div>
<div>Ultimately, after running "<u>sudo make install-webconfig</u>", I got the web interface for Nagios successfully installed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was finally able to complete Nagios installation according to the Quickstart Guide for Ubuntu. Now, I am left with its configuration.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Appreciate your suggestion.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Jim</div>

<div>Hi James,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You are right. '/etc/httpd/conf.d/' does not exist. Unfortunately, I do not know how to find out the directory, Apache on my system refers to '/etc/httpd/conf.d/'.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, I successfully keyed in the 'ScriptAlias' and 'Alias' directives into my '/usr/local/apache2/httpd.conf' config file (I reinstalled Apache to the default location). Still, I am getting the same error on doing a 'sudo make install-webconf'.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>=-=-=-=</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I had raised a query on the Apache forum, on which of <strong>apache2.conf</strong> and <strong>httpd.con</strong>f is the <em>config file</em> of Apache. I got an answer stating that it depends on type of installation method followed. If the source files (.tar.gz) are used, then it is <strong>httpd.conf</strong>, else, <strong>apache2.conf</strong>. So, it is true in my case.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Based on this, I observed an already installed Nagios setup on a different machine. It's <em>config file</em> is <strong>apache2.conf</strong> (again true, it was installed using Synaptic Package Manager).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, I was thinking to try installing using the 'Synaptic Package Manager' or 'apt-get'. However, both aren't working for me. Though I am able to proxy the internet (sitting behind a proxy server), Synaptic & sudo apt-get say, they cannot resolve '<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://archive.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank">archive.ubuntu.com</a>', etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any idea, how to go about?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Jim</div>

default) location, /etc/httpd/conf.d/, which, appears does not exist on<br>your server...<br><br>If you can find what directory your apache uses for "/etc/httpd/conf.d/"<br>you can manually copy and paste whatever is in nagios.conf (the one<br>
trying to be installed from nagios src dir) into your<br>"/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" (You can likely disregard the<br>"apache2.conf" stuff - sounds like they used their own file naming, as<br>the default is normally "httpd.conf") - Apache itself is very flexible,<br>
there are many ways to configure it - nagios simply guesses you are<br>using redhat, so it tries to drop it's httpd config into<br>/etc/httpd/conf.d)<br><br>HTH ...<br><br>Regards,<br>jamie<br>
