Linux and Core Newbie

Post by jeremyd »

Good afternoon,

I am not a linux pro by any means but I followed the instructions on installing Core on my Suse machine and it went without a hitch. When I go to log into the web interface I receive:

Access Forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read protected.

Can anyone offer a newbie any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Which version of SuSE are you using? I remember having a few problems getting OpenSuSE 11.1 running properly with nagios (SLES and SLED were both fine)... from a very hazy memory it was a file permissions issue or apache config issue... (this was a year ago now)

Double check your /etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios.conf and make sure it's pointing to the correct directory and htpasswd file.
Check your /usr/local/nagios/sbin has the user:group of nagios:nagios for a completely default install

If all else fails you could also just use the SuSE yast installer http://www.unixmen.com/install-nagios-in-opensuse-11x/
