Hi there
I installed Nagios and it working properly for the most part but I have a strange problem that I can not figure out.
I can log on via host properly but I can only log on from some computer or laptops remotely.
everything was compile and installed remotely because the server miles and miles away. and basically it just a box anyways with out a head…
my problem seems to be. when i enter the internal network IP 172.16.0.1/nagios I get a log in box but once i enter the password it get 404 error because it tries to display the page locally Ie 127.0.0.1/nagios . which does not exist… on some computers I just need login and save the password , then enter the address again and then it will login and i will not have problems again. but on most it does not work it will ( especially based windows computers)continue to display the same error page over and over again 127.0.0.1/nagios does not exist error… and it the same for external connection 204.112.X.X/nagios
it seems to be in the login section but I just can not find where to edit the mistake I have. would some know where I went wrong ???
thank-you for your reply… I just used the base configure that listed in the howto’s
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd
but I will look through the ./configure script to see if there is more info with in it that might provide me help…
I hope this is were the problem is but we will see
thank you for your time…

Hi there i guess from the Configure script I need to set it like this
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd --with-htmurl=http://172.16.0.1
or
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd --with-htmurl=172.16.0.1
humm I wish documentations was a bit better for nagios … it pretty hard to figure stuff out, sometimes , because it changed greatly from previous version to the latest… and what you find on the web is alot of times outdated and does not work any more…
but thank you for the point in the right direction
oh now that a silly problem. figured it out by chance… it turns out to be a simple web translation problem with in nagios
if I type 172.16.0.1/nagios I get the user/password popup for Nagios but then it fails with 404 because it looks for 127.0.0.1/nagios/
but if I type 172.16.0.1/nagios/ it logs in from ll machines with out problems… with out the the final “/” only some browsers and nigios know how to finish the translation…
