Hi,
I had problem with setting up web interface.
OS: Redhat Linux 9
Nagios version 2.10
Nagios Plugins 1.4.11
When i tried to follow the steps in Nagios Documentation, i am not able to view nagios page.
As said in the documentation, i added the following script in the httpd.conf file.
ScriptAlias /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
Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share
<Directory “/usr/local/nagios/share”>
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
And then, i went to cgi.cfg and changed use_authentication value from 0 to 1
Then i went to command promt and run this command to create a password for the nagiosadmin.
htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
I entered password and when asked to retype,i typed my password again.
A password file is created in the usr/local/nagios/etc.
Then, i restared the apache webserver, by making use of this command.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Now, when i tried to point to my browser using ‘http://localhost/nagios’. I also tried localhost/nagios/
It is asking for username and password.
Even though i type the correct username and password, i am not able to see the nagios page.
What are the other changes that i need to do, inorder to set the web interface?
I placed the scriptalias and alias befor the default script alias command available in the configuration file.
Kindly help me in this regard.
