authentication problem

[Chris Losch]

Well it sounds as though you have two different issues here, (not that I am
a Nagios Expert or anything - except in my building ;) )
 
I would suggest you disable the authentication side of things for the moment
and fix below the error first,
 
[Wed Dec 11 20:06:55 2002] [error] [client myip] script not found or unable
to stat: /usr/local/nagios/sbin/statusmap.cgi, referer:
<http://myserver/nagios/side.html> http://myserver/nagios/side.html

My first thoughts on this is that it could be a apache httpd.conf
misconfiguration (check you have the entries as described in the  <http://>
/nagios/docs/installweb.html">http://<nagiosserver>/nagios/docs/installweb.h
tml )
 
But if you cant find the cgi's on your filesystem (which is what I think you
are saying), reinstall nagios following the steps described in the
documentation. The cgis, by default, should be in /usr/local/nagios/sbin.
 
 
As for the outages.cgi permissions issue, ask yourself some Q's! Is this the
only cgi you get this problem with? are you actually managing to be
recognised by nagios, logged in user = <username> or do you have '?' ?
 
If you are Authenticated - that is, logged in username=<username>, are you
authorised to view that information?  
 
The best advice is to read, re-read and read again all the relevant
documentation, it describes it pretty well - although it assumes things
everything works as expected.
 
If you are 99% sure that you are correctly configured, and that all
necessary files are on your system ;) then re-post a querie preferably with
the relevant parts of you config files - you will know what is relevant when
you read the documentation. :)
 
Don't worry about being a newbie, we were all newbies once.
Hope this steers you in the right direction
Chris

Thank you... hem sorry, I feel so lamer... BTW now nagios work, but still
I'm having the same server error on some cgi. For example for status.cgi I
get:
 
[Wed Dec 11 20:06:55 2002] [error] [client myip] script not found or unable
to stat: /usr/local/nagios/sbin/statusmap.cgi, referer:
http://myserver/nagios/side.html <http://myserver/nagios/side.html> 

Infact if I do a locate statusmap.cgi I couldn't locate it, it is normal?
 
And again, for outages.cgi I get:
 

It appears as though you do not have permission to view information 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.
 
and in error log nothing of relevant.
 
This is another newbie error that I do? (sorry again ;))

Yup... 
htaccess: Invalid command 'uthName', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
module

Check the .htaccess file, the command should be "AuthName", not uthName....

Thank you for plugin's help. Now finally I've setup (and verified with -v)
my .cfg files. Setup my apache for /nagios alias, and created my .htaccess
and htpassword as from documentation, but now I cannot access to nagios.
When I try to go to http://mysite/nagios/ <http://mysite/nagios/>  I get
this error:
 

Server error!


The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your
request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI
script. 

If you think this is a server error, please contact the
<mailto:root at localhost> webmaster 


Error 500

 
If I read from error_log of my apache what's happen I find:
 
[Wed Dec 11 16:51:23 2002] [alert] [client 10.10.1.40]
/usr/local/nagios/share/.
htaccess: Invalid command 'uthName', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
module
not included in the server configuration
 
Can someone help me get out this problem pls?
Thank you
