Internal Server Error Occuring when trying to access Nagios on the browser

[Dorfman, Justin]

I would sugest that you check that you've created the nagios user and group
as following the output of your command *ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/
*nagios should run under nagios user and nagios group.


if you did edit your nagios.cfg
Code:

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

and change the nagios_user and nagios_group to nagios
Code:

nagios_user=nagios
nagios_group=nagios

save it and try to restart nagios again.
