Problem getting past main page

[Guy Waugh]

Hi again,

Strange...

Some questions:

You're sure you restarted apache after editing httpd.conf?
What is the output of 'apachectl configtest'?
What files are in /usr/local/nagios/sbin -- are they files like
'status.cgi', 'avail.cgi', 'cmd.cgi' etc.? Are they executable by the user
that apache is running as?
Is there anything useful in the apache error logs?
What do you see when you go to http://<nagioshost>/nagios with your web
browser? Is that when you get the error below?
Is the nagios host a Linux or Unix host (sorry, can't remember if you've
specified this before)? If so, which flavour/version?
Did you compile nagios on this host, install it via a package manager, or
copy it from another host?

Cheers,
Guy.
