There is not currently a guide for installing 4.0.x on solaris. It *should* be possible, but you will run into package dependency and version problems. Many people who experience these issue have to grab some packages off of OpenCSW.org

I've also just started my path toward configuring Nagios Core on Solaris 10. Due to what could be described as 'noob' problems, I chose to go with the OpenCSW solution instead. I've run into a lot of problems, but nothing like the 403 errors I get when trying to access the web interface.

The message claims that nagiosadmin can't access /nagios/ on the server, but I'm not sure how to resolve it since apache and solaris os permissions differ.

Perhaps we could get a Solaris 10 thread going here?

What do you mean by apache and opensolaris permissions differ? You are welcome to continue posting here as a continuation, although we would appreciate a separate post so that we know when your issue is resolved and can lock the topic. More than likely either htpasswd is not setup correctly, or the file permissions that apache needs are incorrect to the cgi files.

Code: Select all

tail -n 20 /var/log/httpd/error_log (might be different on your system)
