Code: Select all

htpasswd -c /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

I forgot to mention that,I had already did that.
root@nagios-svr:/etc/nagios3#cat htpasswd.users
svaidyanathan:abcdefghijklmno

ls -lh
-rw-r----- 1 root www-data 28 May 22 13:08 htpasswd.users

I also have the user svaidyanathan added in the cgi.cfg file

I didn't follow any guide.I just installed it using apt-get install nagios3,and installed the related dependencies.
Any idea here ?Its really frustrating when the logs does not show anything else...Plz help !!!

No,I am not able to.Getting Http 404 not found
From apache error logs getting
[Wed May 22 17:09:49 2013] [error] [client 10.28.128.140] script '/var/www/html/index.php' not found or unable to stat


Contents of /var/www/html/index.html :
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=http://10.28.120.125/nagios3">

I dont understand why the log is showing 'index.php' while the actual file in location /var/www/html is index.html and not 'index.php'

Code: Select all

http://10.28.120.125/nagios3/index.php
So this url gives you a 404?
what are the contents of the doc root? (my suspicion is that you have alias/path problems)

Code: Select all

ls -la /var/www/html/
Just FYI, this is the standard vhost configuration:

Code: Select all

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/lib64/nagios/cgi"

<Directory "/usr/lib64/nagios/cgi">
#  SSLRequireSSL
   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
#  Order deny,allow
#  Deny from all
#  Allow from 127.0.0.1
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/share/nagios"

<Directory "/usr/share/nagios">
#  SSLRequireSSL
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
#  Order deny,allow
#  Deny from all
#  Allow from 127.0.0.1
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
</Directory>
You will need to replace "/usr/lib64/nagios/cgi" with the path to your nagios cgis and replace "/usr/share/nagios" with the path to your nagios html files.

These usually come with the package or source.
What is the path to:
Your nagios html files?
Your nagios cgis?

Is this apache server hosting any other websites?
