highperformance.conf httpd.conf magic ssl.conf
highperformance-std.conf httpd-std.conf mime.types ssl-std.conf

add something like the following to your web server httpd.conf

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

check your apache error logs and I’m sure you will find something about mysql user in there.
tail -f whereveryourlogfileis
then go to the nagios site and see what error pops up in tail.

btw, you are working on the same problem in 2 threads. Please don’t do that.

turn off selinux firewall at least until you know how to configure it.

for the present ,I have had access to the ](http://)/nagios.
but some following contents appeared when I clicked on the options on the left of the nagiosweb,

for example: I clicked on Tactical overview

Whoops!
Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.
Make sure you’ve compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).

Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at nagios.org.

how can I get access to the true web(CGI) when I click on the options on the left of the nagios web.

thank you!

nagios is not running.
ps -ef|grep nagios

now I can access ](http://)/nagios.
a authentication box appeared when I clicked on the options on the left of the nagiosweb, but I tpyed the username and password added using the following command

[root@localhost etc]# htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
New password:
Re-type new password:
Updating password for user nagiosadmin

but the username and password did not take affect

why?

9

does intelligent installing tool for nagios exist on the Internet?

10

did you tell apache to look for that exact file location?

and PLEASE do not create more threads with the same question.

From the documentation,

thanks for your answer ,Luca,tell the apache to look for the exact file location?can you tell me how I do it.
I have done it per the docs!

Minquan

13

in the httpd.conf or in a .htaccess file you are telling apache you want a basic user authentication for the nagios area.
There you have told apache to make the authentication against the data in the htpasswd.users file. Is the file location correct?

Luca

14

Luca,I have not ever resolved my problem that the username and password didnot take effect.has anyone encountered the same thing?
no I chould pass the check using /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v nagios.cfg
then I started the nagios using /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios nagios.cfg

the following displayed:

[root@localhost etc]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios nagios.cfg

Huh?

The reason you get the woops page is because nagios is NOT RUNNING.

" no I chould pass the check using /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v nagios.cfg
then I started the nagios using /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios nagios.cfg "

Give us the URL to the documentation that states to start nagios in that way? I’m done helping you unless you comply with my request.

You have stated that you read the docs, that you are following the docs, you have started this topic in several threads, but yet you say you started nagios like that?
" no I chould pass the check using /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v nagios.cfg
then I started the nagios using /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios nagios.cfg "
Nowhere in the docs does that appear. Now please stop, step back, and begin again on page 1 of the documentation and perform the steps given.

" /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs: option requires an argument – s "
That sounds like you configured the check_procs without an argument of -s, but hey, I could be wrong. Why would you start with such a hard check plugin, when you haven’t even gotten nagios started yet?
