Nagios Support Forum

Hi
I installed nagios core 4.1.1 on manjaro, using the arch linux install info.
but when i try to open the browser using my ipaddres http://x.x.x.x/nagios

i get the following error.
-------------------------------------------------
the following error was encountered:

Connection to x.x.x.x Failed
The system returned:

(61) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.
--------------------------------------------
any ideas on what i need to do to get this working? this is my 1st attempt at nagios

Can you provide the steps you used to install Core?

Also - are you running a GUI on manjaro?

Hi
Thanks for the reply.

i installed is as per the instructions for arch, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nagios

this is a GUI installed, but i did the install via CLI.

thanks

Did you make sure that httpd/nginx servce is running? Try to restart it from the CLI, and show the output.

Hi
So, it looked like i didnt have nginx installed
i installed it, restarted httpd, nginx and nagios, and now i get the landing page for nginx, when i go to the hosts ip address.
but get the 404 error, when i go to x.x.x./nagios


****
Welcome to nginx!

If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.

For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
Commercial support is available at nginx.com.

Thank you for using nginx.

That guide is not very good
I say that because it provides three examples of how to configure your webserver but never tells you that you should not have all three installed.
so you should choose one and configure it
so either remove apache or remove nginx and if you also installed lighthttpd remove that

Please remove nginx, and post your apache configuration.

HI
thanks, yes i found the instructions very hard to follow
I have removed both lighttpd and nginx, here is the details for the apache config.
