==========================================================

I tried putting " Options ExecCGI " in Alias directive, I found following erro

[error] [client 172.16.150.235] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /var/www/html/favicon.ico
[error] [client 172.16.150.235] attempt to invoke directory as script: /usr/local/nagios/share/

I don’t understand, why its trying to access /var/www/html/favicon.ico. :o)

Nagios.conf file

I can view following

Even try with other cgi files, it do work also.

Thanks in advance

You didn’t follow nagios very well. It’s supposed to be:

Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share
<Directory “/usr/local/nagios/share”>
Options None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

But perhaps your SElinux firewall is blocking access?
