Core web interface not displaying correctly

[dapaulio]

Hi all
Not only am i Nagios newbie i am also a linux newbie.
I have installed Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS core only installation on a virtual machine and installed Nagios Core 4.1.1 with Nagios Plugins 2.0.3 as per the install instructions outlined in the Nagios install notes and also from unixmen.
I have reinstalled Nagios three times and on all occasions i can log in to the nagios core web interface however it shows as not running and most of the pages in the web interface look like the screen shot attached.

in fact here are my cmds i used
My experience and knowledge extends solely to these three attempts of installing Nagios
Your help would be greatly appreciated

This is because your web server isn't running the cgis, it's just spitting them out. I don't know ubuntu, but I found this:

Looks like you need to do this bit:

Code: Select all

a2enmod cgi
service apache2 restart

I have a guide here for 4.0.8 which is similar

In addition to what @jdalrymple said try:

Code: Select all

a2enmod rewrite
