You might want to reset your password.

You will have to look at your nagios.conf apache file to verify the location of the file, then run the following replacing
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users if it is different

Code: Select all

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

[devilsguest]

Here is my nagios.conf for apache it looks fine

Code: Select all

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 Web Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share/"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share/">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "Nagios Web Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>

What errors did you receive when you set a *blank* password as per your previous thread?

[devilsguest]

"Password mismatch"

Code: Select all

 AH01617: user nagiosadmin: authentication failure for "/nagios": Password Mismatch

[abrist]

Hmmm. If you created a *blank* password, that error should not happen. Do you have *any* other .htaccess files, apache vhost configs, or htpasswd.users files?

Code: Select all

find / -name .htaccess
find / -name *.users
find /etc -name nagios.conf

[devilsguest]

.htaccess for sbin and share

Code: Select all

 AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
/usr/local/sbin/htaccess.users

Code: Select all

# find /etc -name nagios.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf

[abrist]

How many entries are in /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users ? (you should have just one for nagiosadmin)

[devilsguest]

nagiosadmin:$apr1$s1.[Commented out]
