Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I'm not sure why we cannot access nagios directory remotely. it does not happen when we locally access nagios. ie : http://localhost/nagios.

however from the httpd error log.
it shown :
"[autoindex:error] cannot serve durectiry /var/www/html/ No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html, index.html.var, index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive"

thanks in advance.

How did you install nagios, did you follow any guides? If so, please provide a link.

What OS is nagios installed on?

if you are looking for a guide on how to install it give these a crack, they are foolproof

noted that. thanks. however, i need a solution on this issue. are you saying that re-install would be the option?

It sounds like you may have had apache already installed on the system. I would recommend reinstalling.

I wrote instructions for installing Nagios Core on Centos 7 which will work for you without a doubt on a minimal install.

In addition to rkennedy's suggestion, one other thing to consider is iptables running on the Nagios server and have you allowed other hosts access? Run the command 'iptables --list' to check.

surprisingly, the problem resolved without doing any changes but still the no matching directoryindex is still logged.

on top of that i did run setenforce 0 and stop iptables service, when the problem occurred.

It was most likely a permissions issue that had to do with SELinux.

Can you please clarify what you mean by no matching directoryindex is logged? Show us a screenshot?
