Hi all, I've just installed Core on a dev virtual machine and am unable to log into the site with the 'nagiosadmin' username I created. I followed the procedures and did this:

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

Went back in and checked to see if the account exists and it does. The website comes up but I'm still unable to get into with the password I created. Can you point me in the right direction please, hate to bother you guys with something that should be easy.

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

What is the error that you get when you try to log in? Is apache service running? Did you try to stop iptables and/or SELinux?

When going to my nagios site, it's asking me to authenticate. I put in the username 'nagiosadmin' and my password and it won't take. I've restarted apache, httpd, and turned off iptables. Any suggestions?

There should be no issues with changing the password via:

Code: Select all

htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

Can you re-run this and test with a very simple alpha numeric password?

Do you get any errors in the apache error log, when you try to log in? You can start a running tail on the log, try to log in the web interface, and check the tail's output for errors.

In RHEL/Centos:

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

In Ubuntu/Debian:

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

You can try resetting the password by re-running:

Code: Select all

htpasswd –c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

and selecting a simple password for test purposes (no special characters).
