Host Detail Error

[Scott Sugar]

An easy way to test this is to grant all permissions to the cgi directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin i believe... basically where all the cgi files are found.
run at the command prompt when you are in the cgi directory.
chmod 777 *
if that works for you, then you can begin to reign in the permissions, try to run a chmod 755 *
 
The reason this is happening is because either your nagios user you created, or was created for you does not have the permissions to execute the cgi scripts, or more likely in this case the apache user does not have the correct permissions.  the manual talks about how to find out who the default apache user is.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Host Detail Error



I have installed the Mandriva version of the Nagios 2.0.3 beta.  After
fighting through permission problems to get the Web Interface running I
finally have the browser running, and I am trying to view the one host I
have defined.

When I  click on the host detail button, I get the following:

It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for
any of the hosts you requested...
If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.

Can anyone tell me what this means?  I cannot seem to run the CGI from
the command line to find the actual errors.

I would also like to know if there exists the capability to log these
actions to a debugging  log file.

Best Regards,
