Alright guys, im pretty new to doing installs on ubuntu… and so far… i got most of it installed, but now im stuck at
Configure the Web Interface
Install the Nagios web config file in the Apache conf.d directory.
make install-webconf
Create a nagiosadmin account for logging into the Nagios web interface. Remember the password you assign to this account - you’ll need it later.
htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
Restart Apache to make the new settings take effect.
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
when i try to run root@sensor-desktop:~/downloads/nagios-plugins-1.4.11# make install-webconf
i get
make: *** No rule to make target `install-webconf’. Stop.
Hmm, not really an Ubuntu man myself, so I can’t help you with that part. But what I can do is suggesting to use a more recent version of Nagios. Version 1.4.11 (assuming you use the same version of both the nagios and the nagios-plugins package) was released over 2 years ago.
whoops… ya i was trying something different when i posted that and got the same error, i have the latest version of nagios 3.0.6 and i get the same error…

Which folder are you in when you give the make install-webconf command?
rebooted the box, tried again… and this is what i got now.
root@sensor-desktop:~/downloads/nagios-3.0.6# make install-webconf
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 sample-config/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf’: No such file or directory
Hmm, the quickstart guide is based on Ubuntu 6. A bit old… Perhaps Ubuntu has shuffled the locations of its config files since then?
I guess you can get the install to work by symlinking /etc/httpd to /etc/apache2 (but only if your have a /etc/apache2/conf.d folder! If you don’t have that one, then Ubuntu has shuffled more than I can analyze without having an Ubuntu system here…)
The make command should then work without problems… I think… 8)
(any Ubuntu guru’s reading this? Am I making any sense here?)
alright so whats really weird, is it wont let me create a folder under etc… is that normal in unix?? i figured i was a admin, and could do that… and under the apache2 folder there is a conf.d folder, with nothing in it… under the apache2 folder there is a httpd.conf file, but when i try to move it i get permissions denied…
sooo i think this is becoming a permissions issue…
ill be on later… but going home for the day, this is racking my head.

That’s just a minor warning. As long as you access that server only within your local net, or via IP, it does not need a FQDN…
