Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

I followed the instructions in http://www.unixmen.com/install-nagios-i ... an-squeez/ on my Ubuntu 12.04 server and I also tried the instructions on http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... Source.pdf.

If I try the second one all the directories get created correctly but it won't display the webpage.

When I navigate to the webserver it instead prompts me to download the webpage.

If I use the first method I am able to log into the webpage and use it but all the config directories are missing.

All it creates is


/dev/nagios
/dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-nagios-root
/dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-nagios-swap_1
/dev/mapper/nagios-root
/dev/mapper/nagios-swap_1
/dev/nagios/root
/dev/nagios/swap_1
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES/nagios-plugins.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/nagios-plugins.mo

Any suggestions on how to get this setup correctly?

This can be caused by an apache dependency not being installed or enabled or being misconfigured... it's not aware of how to execute a CGI file.

In your /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf or /etc/apache/conf.d/nagios.conf file you should have a heading that contains this option:

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

For some versions of apache you may need to add the option: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Other than that check that your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is configured to load the CGI module, ensure it has the line: LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
