Greetings?
YOU DON’T HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS

See, this uppercase, lowercase thing is a much softer, more polite way to communicate online. Now, onto your problem.

Have you tried executing

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

to see if Nagios returns any warnings or errors on the pre-flight check? I use those paths assuming you installed Nagios from source and kept the default paths.

This is the result of this command:

[blockquote]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check

Things seem ok but it’s doesn’t work any more!!
I was wondering if it’s not due to a problem with the httpd.conf file?

Well, what does your httpd.conf file look where you created the ScriptAlias and Alias to use for your Nagios directories?

Things seem ok but it’s doesn’t work any more!!

Any more? so it worked? if it WORKED but now it doesn’t i’d check what has been updated recently n the server.
If it never worked you probably misconfigured the webinterface… particulary (as SonOfThunder pointed out) the cgi-bin subdirectory.

Hi,
Find below the ScriptAlias confered to nagios:
…]
[blockquote]ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/var/www/cgi-bin/”
<Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”>
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin “/usr/local/nagios/sbin”
<Directory “/usr/local/nagios/sbin”>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Alias /nagios “/usr/local/nagios/share”

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

[/blockquote]

…]

Okay, looks like the problem is with your ScriptAlias. Nagios 2.x is kinda particular about this. You have to make sure you have the forward slashes at the end of your path to the sbin directory. Therefore,

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin “usr/local/nagios/sbin”
<Directory “/usr/local/nagios/sbin”>

should be changed to read

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ “/usr/local/nagios/sbin/”
<Directory “usr/local/nagios/sbin/”>

Hope that fixes it.

I was having the same issue you were having. I run RH Ent 4 and could not access any of the cgi pages. I found that in var/log/httpd/error_log it was a permissions issue. I also found that SELINUX was the cause. If you disable it in /etc/selinux/config . The CGI scripts will work.

Here is link l found that helped me and may help you.

Yes, and if that’s the case, you’ll see an error message that mentions a premature end of script headers somewhere in your logs, or something of the sort. It appears to be a RH-specific issue, and depending on the version, you can solve it in a number of ways.

Hi gurus,
Finally, i 've founded out the solution!! (it was time)
After following your instructions, i faced the same problem i.e, “forbidden access to nagios”.
So i looked up my httpd.conf file, i saw that thereis no index directive correctly mentionned:
…]

DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

is requested.

DirectoryIndex index.htm index.php** index.html** <=# it was it!!! ...] After that , it's works fine

Thanks a lot for your diligence

THANK YOU wifipap… I’ve been struggling for days and days with Fedora 4 to get this working, and your tip fixed it for me.
