Have you replaced your nagios vhost file (from the previous thread) with the default one?
What does your httpd error logs look like?

Code: Select all

tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

Try disabling selinux and see if this is going to change anything:

Code: Select all

setenforce 0

[devilsguest]

what does it do and what is this all about....can you please explain me little precise....

[lmiltchev]

The command is used to disable selinux.

Sometimes selinux can cause this type of issues, that's why I wanted you to disable it, and see if you will be able on view the page.
