Can't start nagios with apache on solaris 8

[Marc Powell]

I'm going to say it's an apache configuration issue _or_ a permissions issue. Your apache error log should provide more useful information.

Some common gotcha's:

	- after adding the nagios specific sections to httpd.conf, you must restart apache.
	- when using the useradd command to create the nagios user, the home directory is typically created with 700 permission. It needs to be 755 unless you're getting creative with groups in which case you probably know enough that this isn't likely.
	- make sure that your .configure --with-htmurl and --with-cgiurl parameters correlate to what you've put in httpd.conf.

If you're still having problems you'll have to provide more detailed information including the nagios sections of httpd.conf, file and directory permissions, error log information (apache and nagios.log). This all presumes of course that you have the appropriate files in ~nagios/share and ~nagios/libexec.

A simple question for you nagios gurus.
 
I just installed/configured apache 1.3.28 and nagios 1.1. I followed the nagios installation
instructions (and triple checked them).  When I try to access nagios as described in the
"setting up the web interface" using http://photon/nagios.  I get the 404 Not found page.
 
The server is running because I can access the docs directory for apache or where ever
I point it to. I followed all the default installation except the nagios-user; I put my login.
 
Is this an apache problem or a nagios problem?
 
Thank you
-john
