Nagios web interface question

[Minkov, Ross]

Hi,

Here is my first newbie nagios question...

I just installed nagios on Fedora Core 2 using an rpm. I followed the
docs and configured some servers/services to monitor and started the
nagios service. It started up just fine. I then started apache and
started reading how to configure the nagios web interface. The
instructions I found were a little too specific to the install from
source code approach (assuming that you installed nagios in /usr/local),
but after looking in my httpd.conf file I noticed that there was a line
added at the very end:

#Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf

So instead of editing the httpd.conf file as per the instructions I was
reading, I just removed the # in front that very last line in my
httpd.conf file. Then I restarted httpd and here is the warning I got:


# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: [Thu Sep 30 10:18:12 2004] [warn] The ScriptAlias
directive in /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf at line 1 will probably never
match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
[Thu Sep 30 10:18:12 2004] [warn] The Alias directive in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf at line 9 will probably never match
because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
                                                           [  OK  ]

I can get to the nagios web interface just fine, but still want to know
why I'm getting this warning.

==============================================

No errors or warning on the nagios side:

[root at rolin conf.d]# service nagios restart
Running configuration check...done
Stopping network monitor: nagios
Starting network monitor: nagios
NAGIOS ok - status written 1 seconds ago

==============================================

[root at rolin conf]# grep ^Alias httpd.conf
Alias /icons/ "/var/www/icons/"
AliasMatch ^/manual(?:/(?:de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$
"/var/www/manual$1"
Alias /error/ "/var/www/error/"
[root at rolin conf]#
[root at rolin conf]# grep ^ScriptAlias httpd.conf
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
[root at rolin conf]#
[root at rolin conf]# grep -i nagios httpd.conf
Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf

====================================

Below is my /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf file.

# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/
<Directory /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/>
   Options ExecCGI
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from 127.0.0.1 .example.com
</Directory>

Alias /nagios/ /usr/share/nagios/
<Directory /usr/share/nagios/>
   Options None
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from 127.0.0.1 .example.com
</Directory>

Thanks,
Ross
