[Solved] Can't connect to the web page

Let us know how the re-installation goes .

Hmmm... Not so good. I made it to the following step:

Code: Select all

Create a Default User for Web Access.
Add a default user for Web Interface Access:
htpasswd –c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

and this error popped up:

Code: Select all

[root@FreeNag jobee]# htpasswd –c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
Usage:
        htpasswd [-cmdpsD] passwordfile username
        htpasswd -b[cmdpsD] passwordfile username password

        htpasswd -n[mdps] username
        htpasswd -nb[mdps] username password
 -c  Create a new file.
 -n  Don't update file; display results on stdout.
 -m  Force MD5 encryption of the password.
 -d  Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default).
 -p  Do not encrypt the password (plaintext).
 -s  Force SHA encryption of the password.
 -b  Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for it.
 -D  Delete the specified user.
On Windows, NetWare and TPF systems the '-m' flag is used by default.
On all other systems, the '-p' flag will probably not work.

Do you think there's an inherent problem with my CentOS install? Should I Nuke & Repopulate?

Thanks,

Do you already have this file from the past installation? /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users If so you should remove it then run the command to create it again.

[jbruyet]

That file isn't there:

Code: Select all

[root@FreeNag etc]# ls -l
total 64
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 12015 May  8 08:52 cgi.cfg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 44475 May  8 08:52 nagios.cfg
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios  4096 May  8 08:52 objects
-rw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios  1312 May  8 08:52 resource.cfg
[root@FreeNag etc]#

Thanks,

Normally you see the usage of a command, when there is a syntax error... however your command looks just fine. I wonder if there is something goofy with any of the characters... Did you copy/paste the command or you typed it? Try typing it, and see if you are going to get the same output.

Also, run the following commands and show us the output:

Code: Select all

sestatus
grep htpasswd /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf

Thanks lmiltchev, that was the problem. I just typed the command and it worked. I recently posted an off-topic question in one of my posts about Notepad not correctly displaying files while Wordpad can. Sreinhardt said it had to do with line endings. I'm guessing it was the same issue here. Anyway, I'm on to the next step in the process.

Nope. I made it down to the last step but my Nagios server isn't responding. I did an NMAP scan and the only port that's open is 22. I've restarted the Nagios service and it restarts no problem. I've restarted the httpd service and it restarts no problem. When I run ps I see that httpd is running. I'm heading home now but I think I'll do my Nuke & Repopulate tomorrow if I have time. Next week if that works better for me.

Thanks,

Let us know how that works out. We'll keep this open for a bit.

[jbruyet]

I'm working with CentOS 64-bit. Does that have any impact on a Nagios install?

Thanks,

Joe B

[tmcdonald]

The only thing the architecture will have an impact on is if you try to use 64-bit binaries on a 32-bit system. Other than that Nagios runs just fine on either.
