I had the same problem. You need to set the group owner on your
password file to the group for apache. (In my case, I did a "chown
apache htpasswd.users"). Restart nagios and apache and your set.

hi ,
thankyou for you response , i have checked all the cfg files and
it
looks that all the entries are correct. but still i am not able to
view
nagios graphics
ie ( http://hostname/nagios) the page opens and if i click any
links
in the Monitoring panel , it asks for authentication ie i think you
have
to give
user as nagiosadmin and password XXXXXX . but i get the
following
error
Authentication required!

This isn't a real-user on your system, just a username/passwd
combination to access the cgi scripts on the Nagios web-pages.
