Install Nagios on Macos

[westofpluto]

Hi All
I cannot seem to get Nagios to work on localhost on Macos (High Sierra). I know that both Nagios and Apache are running, and I managed to configure apache so that it points to a Nagios folder when going to http://localhost/nagios but it gives me an error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /nagios/ on this server.

Obviously I have misconfigured something but I don't know what. It also seems that there are http and nagios config files in various paths so I really don't know which one is the valid one. What can I do to fix this? How can I find out which are the correct config files for apache and nagios?

Hi @westofpluto,

Did you follow these instructions?
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... Apple_OS_X

Did you create the nagios user and group:

Code: Select all

sudo make install-groups-users
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a _www -t user nagios
