Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I have downloaded and configured Nagios Core 4.1.1. I run CentOS 6.8 on the machine and because of that I have followed both the official quickstart guide and also this one : http://www.techoism.com/steps-to-config ... at-fedora/ . I have followed all the written steps (under root) but somehow when I finish the guide it wont log me in because of a wrong password. I have not configured Apache anyhow but the guide didn't say so.
Could you please help me out somehow ?

Thank you very much

Are you referring to this page?
http://your.i.p.here/nagios/ ?

If so, take a look at this part from the guide you mentioned, this is where the password for nagiosadmin is set -

Yes, although I have used a hostname because of our DNS server.
And also I have used that command, even have tried it with and without -c flag (have removed it before).

Have you tried a basic password?

Tail the httpd logs in an ssh session:
Now try and access the webpage, what is logged in the ssh session?

Have you tried this guide?:

Also it could be that SELinux is enabled. To disable it: Does any of this help?

solved, thanks to the logs you have pointed me onto - I did the whole procedure under root and it didn't give the nagios users the permissions to the httpasswd file.
thanks

Is it alright if we lock this thread and mark the issue as resolved?
