NagiosXI Proxy Modules

Post by wneville »

For running nagiosxi on rhel8 with apache/httpd, what proxy modules are required? I am trying to disable them all but it looks like the UI does not load without mod_proxy.so and mod_proxy_fcgi.so

For Nagios XI to work properly on RHEL 8 + Apache:
  • Cannot disable mod_proxy and mod_proxy_fcgi if you use PHP-FPM (default on RHEL 8).
  • You can minimize other modules, but you cannot remove these two proxy modules.
If you really want to not use mod_proxy, you will have to reconfigure Apache to use mod_php (PHP runs directly in Apache), but this is not recommended on RHEL 8 and may cause conflicts with the distribution and SELinux.
