You might want to reset your password.
You will have to look at your nagios.conf apache file to verify the location of the file, then run the following replacing
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users if it is different
Code: Select all
htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

What errors did you receive when you set a *blank* password as per your
previous thread?

Hmmm. If you created a *blank* password, that error should not happen. Do you have *any* other .htaccess files, apache vhost configs, or htpasswd.users files?
Code: Select all
find / -name .htaccess
find / -name *.users
find /etc -name nagios.conf

.htaccess for sbin and share
Code: Select all
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
/usr/local/sbin/htaccess.users
Code: Select all
# find /etc -name nagios.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf

How many entries are in /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users ? (you should have just one for nagiosadmin)
