Are you following the steps in the documentation at all? You have to configure apace also, if you want to view the nagios website.
nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/
nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/
The nagios docs are very clear and you only have to use your head in situations where you didn’t do something standard. In other words, change the paths to suit where you installed stuff. But it looks like for the most part, you used the defaults. Except for --with-nagios-group=nagcmd which doesn’t appear to be worth the effort and needless.

I know you said earlier that you configured Apache as per the documentation. Re-read through them and make sure you’ve followed them exactly. If you’re still getting that error, post the segment of your Apache configuration file (post the path to that file, too).
yes, i have configured apache. I’m running apache, and added this to my /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file:
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin “/usr/local/nagios/sbin”
<Directory “/usr/local/nagios/sbin”>

Cool…mind showing us the contents of htpasswd.users?
Feel free to add me to MSN messenger. I’m online usually between 9:30AM and 6:30 PM, EST. I’ve got that info in my profile.

Out of curiosity…was that httpd.conf file one you created, or was it already there?
Edited Thu Jan 26 2006, 11:13PM ]
Wrong, read the docs again.
The below is NOT in httpd.conf it’s somewhere else.
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user

Oh wow…you’re right. I can’t believe I missed that.
Love your status map, btw. I was talking to my boss about that sort of thing last night. He had no idea Nagios was capable of that sort of thing. I gotta show him that.
Edited Thu Jan 26 2006, 11:15PM ]
ok, heres the contents of htpasswd.users
nagiosadmin:HawQ1ahFJoR3w
I’m not sure how the contents of .htaccess got into httpd.conf. Anyhow, I edited httpd.conf to be:
<Directory “/usr/local/nagios/sbin”>
SSLRequireSSL
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

so, this looks right. I’ve gone thru the documentation once again to retarace my steps. On page 12, there are steps to Create a Nagios User/Group. Then, in red bold is:
adduser nagios
which I did. Does it also require that you add a nagios Group? If so. why isn’t the command listed in red bold?? Should I have also done a
groupadd nagios ?
OK, we need to get this working by Monday, so I’m going to hand feed you the info. But this time only.
nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/installweb.html
nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/cgiauth.html
First lets see if your system is built like mine.
ls /etc/httpd
Do you have a conf and a conf.d directory?
If so, do you have files in /etc/httpd/conf.d
ls /etc/httpd/conf.d
If so, then restore your original /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file or remove all the changes you made and do this.
The below entries could be made in the httpd.conf file directly, but it’s much more organized if you have it like the below.
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf
Put this in that file: But change the paths to fit your system, if they are different that where I INSTALLED NAGIOS.
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
Put the following in a .htaccess file in /usr/local/nagios/share and also in /usr/local/nagios/sbin
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user
Setting Up Authenticated Users:
htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
Continue adding more users until you’ve created an account for everyone you want to access the CGIs
htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Enabling Authentication/Authorization Functionality In The CGIs
make sure that /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg has this:
use_authentication=1
Restart nagios and also apache.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios restart
That should get you going. Login to nagios website with the username/password you created above.
When you run
adduser nagios
the nagios group will be created also.

Nope it’s not. Where is the;

ok I double-checked…its there:

I don’t have a conf or conf.d directory in /etc/httpd
I have created .htacess file with those contents and placed in /usr/local/nagios/share and also in /usr/local/nagios/sbin
Ran:

Confirmed:
use_authentication=1 is enable in /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg

Restarted nagios:

It looks like you already are root, so why isn’t there a /home/nagios directory?
grep nagios /etc/passwd
What is nagios user’s home directory?

Blah, annoying. It should work, 'cause the entry it there. Run this command:
ls -l /home
All that shows is that the system thinks that the user nagios should have a home directory of /home/nagios.
So now, ls -l /home will show that there is no directory of /home/nagios. So, I have to ask, WHY NOT? make one with the adduser command.
man adduser will tell you how.
