Hello,
I need a bit of help with an issue that I'm facing.
For installing Nagios on one of my Ubuntu VMsI've followed the instructions listed here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... buntu.html
when I try to go to http://<hosts address>/nagios, however, instead of displaying the web interface to Nagios,
my workstation browser downloads a file. Here's the first few lines of the file downloaded:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<title>Nagios Core</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/ico">
</head>

Oh, I believe php is installed:
root@ccb1:~# dpkg -l | grep php
ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (Apache 2 module)
ii php5 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage)
ii php5-cli 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language
ii php5-common 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 Common files for packages built from the php5 source
ii php5-gd

Is apache loading the php module? What does your httpd.conf look like?

Whoa, I'm new to a lot of this, but it looks like /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is empty. I'm not sure how to go about setting it up properly, but I'll start researching this...
/etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios.conf looks to be significant. It's comments list:
# This file contains examples of entries that need
# to be incorporated into your Apache web server
# configuration file. Customize the paths, etc. as
# needed to fit your system.
But I'm not sure how to go about using the file or its contents.

That file should really be populated with defaults at the very least. Maybe the install was not completed successfully? What distro are you running?

Did you install apache and php through apt-get?
