I followed the above instructions, use web browser to open localhost/nagios3, got prompted for user/password --> blank page
user: nagiosadmin
pwd: <one entered in the installation>
I'm new to Nagios, so a pointer to what I should be looking at to get it going?

Debian Install not working...
Re: Debian Install not working...
You need to add the nagiosadmin user and password to a file called htpasswd.users. I'm not sure where the nagios3 package puts it, but look in the /etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios3.conf file to find where that file is supposed to be. Then use the htpasswd command to add users to it.
Code: Select all
htpasswd -c <htpasswd.users file location> <username> ##this will prompt you for a password.
Re: Debian Install not working...
Thanks, that got the menu to come up.
Now when I click on Tactical Overview I get...
I've checked -v and can't see any issues and looked in the log file.
I've also looked at: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-47 ... art-0.html
It occurred to me that I might have a rights problem, but I'm not sure that's it as I've put most stuff in my www-grp now.
I tried looking in the KB but the only issue I could find there didn't seem to apply.

Whoops!
Error: Could not read object configuration data!
Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:
Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.

Re: Debian Install not working...
Hmm, not sure, I'd try reviewing the info in the cgi.cfg file and see if there's anything problematic there. I haven't done a Debian install before, but maybe this tutorial could help...

I've looked in cgi.cfg and can't see anything that looks like it would be causing issues.
What is 'object configuration data'?
What's trying to read it?
Re: Debian Install not working...
The object configuration data is the info on all of your hosts, services, contacts, etc. On a source install it's all the files in /usr/local/nagios/etc, but I think with an apt package install it's in /etc/nagios or /etc/nagios3. It's where your nagios.cfg file is. Look for these files, make sure they've been created, and also make sure that they have read permissions.
