I have isntalled nagios 2.0rc2 and tried starting the daemon with basic default configuration. I have got the following error.

==============
root@linu init.d]# ./nagiso start
Starting network monitor: nagios
CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.
root@linu init.d]#

Need help in identifying the issue. I have not mae any change in the default settings. Tried starting nagios with default settings.

I have installed Nagios 1.3.
With /$nagiospath/bin/nagios -v /$nagiospath/etc/nagios.cfg all is ok and with /$nagiospath/bin/nagios /$nagiospath/etc/nagios.cfg Nagios starts perfectly, but if I try to view the status via browser, it return the message “Internal Server Error - The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request”.
I have enebled authorizations in the cgi.cgf file and I modified the http.conf file as well as indicated in the documentation.

Sorry for my English

Did you remember to restart both Nagios and Apache after making those configuration changes?

Btw, if you authenticate successfully into Apache, and it’s just that you’re having trouble with accessing the CGIs, then your configuration error isn’t about authentication. Apache returns an “Error: Forbidden” message when authentication fails.

Would you please post the relevant portions of your cgi.cfg file and your .htaccess files?

Yes, I did

cgi.cfg:

.htaccess:

is this part of httpd.conf setup?

criptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin

<Directory “/usr/local/nagios/sbin”>
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user

mainly the execcgi line…

Yes, it is.
however I replaced it with your indication, I restarted apache and nagios then I tried again, but nothing changes.

Did you cut/paste from what Luca put? That post is missing the “S” in “ScriptAlias”, so that could give you problem.

I assume you’ve also placed the the alias for your share/ folder in httpd.conf, and in the correct location in relation to the ScriptAlias for the sbin/ directory, yes?

I noted the imperfection to :frowning:

I’ve found an easy solution: installing nagios-2.0rc2!
Thanks to all
