Cant Launch Nagios Daemon - HELP :)

[Dualsweat]

Hi Guys,

Any news on how to access the Web UI? Or, should I create a separate thread for that?

Thanks,

Although I don't know the answer myself, I have seen this problem before at home. If a website is trying to give you the source code for a page as opposed to your browser viewing the page normally, it is a MIME type issue. MIME types basically let the server know if the file is plain text, HTML, an image, or code to be executed. In your case, it looks like the server is treating PHP code as something to be downloaded, possibly plain text.

I'm talking with a co-worker about this now to see if it is a known nagios issue or a general server misconfiguration.

I'm having the same problem and substituted your "hack-ish" script for the original init script. I keep getting a "Permission denied" error when I try /etc/init.d/nagios start. I tried chowning to nagios:nagios from root:root, but that didn't help. Who should own the script?

Thanks.

Hi Owls,

Perhaps this will help you?

root@PowerEdge-1850-1:/etc/init.d# ls -ltr |grep -i nagios
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11592 Oct 7 16:09 ent Nagios Core Development Team and Community Contributors
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3303 Oct 7 16:54 nagios.bak
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3411 Oct 7 16:57 nagios

root@PowerEdge-1850-1:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/nagios restart
Stopping nagios:
Starting nagios:
root@PowerEdge-1850-1:/etc/init.d#

Thank You,

Matt M.--

Never mind. Dumb mistake.

Thanks, Matt. Yeah, I had the file permissions wrong.

New problem though; I get a 404 when I try the web interface. I already have apache installed on this server for simple machines forum (SMF) and I'm thinking that I need to add directives to the conf file as described at http://www.unixmen.com/install-nagios-u ... x-and-10x/. I want to make sure I don't break anything that would affect SMF. I think I can just add the ScriptAlias, etc to my VirtualHost directive, but I wanted to check before I screw anything up. The suggested changes to the conf file are

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

Options ExecCGI

AllowOverride None

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

Require valid-user

Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share

Options None

AllowOverride None

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

Require valid-user
--------------------------------------------------------------

I do want to use htpasswd, so that's fine. Don't the options (Allow, Order, etc.) need to be in a <Directory> directive?

I realize this is really apache stuff, but I thought I'd try asking here first.

Thanks.

Hi Owls,

To be honest, I have no idea. You might be better off starting a whole new thread for that question so you can get some more eyes on it. :-/

Thanks,

Ok Guys,

I resolved this issue. We can close this out.

I must have missed the install for libapache2-mod-php5.
I installed it and everything is working now.

Thanks!
