Go to the /var/log/httpd folder and look at the error_log file or if you enabled SSL the ssl_error_log file while you are trying to access the pnp4nagios link.
If you find any errors, post them here.
Can you get the Apache config file for PNP4Nagios and post it here?
Thanks

Hi Tom, in i see only this in the error_log when i try to reach the webpage:
172.16.17.82 - - [27/Dec/2018:13:33:33 +0100] "GET /php4nagios HTTP/1.1" 404 208 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko"
the conf is this:
Code: Select all
# SAMPLE CONFIG SNIPPETS FOR APACHE WEB SERVER
Alias /pnp4nagios "/usr/local/pnp4nagios/share"
<Directory "/usr/local/pnp4nagios/share">

The config file looks stock but thanks for posting it.
Here is a couple of things to look for.
When you access the pnp4nagios URL, it is accessing the following folder.
Check it to see if the permissions are set so the nagios user and and the nagcmd group can read it.
When you go to the GUI, does it prompt for a username and password?
If not, check the /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users file to see if there is an account created in it.
Also, there are some steps you can do to troubleshoot this on the PNP4Nagios web site.

Thanks Tom, the permissions look good for me..
Code: Select all
ls -la /usr/local/pnp4nagios/share
totale 20
drwxr-xr-x 8 nagios nagios 155 21 dic 11.22 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 89 21 dic 11.06 ..
drwxr-xr-x 12 nagios nagios 144 21 dic 11.06 application
drwxr-xr-x 6 nagios nagios 60 21 dic 11.06 documents
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 4785 21 dic 11.22 index.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 7310 21 dic 11.22 install.php
drwxr-xr-x 5 nagios nagios 41 21 dic 11.06 media
drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 6 21 dic 11.06 templates
drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 21 dic 11.22 templates.dist
drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 100 21 dic 11.22 templates.special
No user and pw asked when i go to the gui homepage..only 404
in htpasswd i see only nagiosadmin..is it correct?
in the link you send me i didn't found anything useful for my problem..

If you did not add any other users to the htpasswd file, then the nagiosadmin user should be in there.
Lets try and reinstall pnp4nagios but specify the user and group in the configure command.
Go to the folder that you downloaded pnp4nagios and run the following commands as root to reinstall it.
Code: Select all
./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
make all
make install
make install-webconf
make install-config
make install-init
service httpd restart
Then see if you can login.
If it fails, try stopping the firewall of the system if it is enabled.
Try running the install script to see if that opens in the browser.
Code: Select all
http://nagios_server/pnp4nagios/install.php
Other than that, there has to be more information in the Apache Error logs on why it is not running.
