Fwd: Apache Server configuration for Nagios 3.0

[James Pratt]

Hi - sounds like your issue is that the generic make install in nagios
src tries to drop a file called nagios.conf into httpd's (usually the
default) location, /etc/httpd/conf.d/, which, appears does not exist on
your server...

If you can find what directory your apache uses for "/etc/httpd/conf.d/"
you can manually copy and paste whatever is in nagios.conf (the one
trying to be installed from nagios src dir) into your
"/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" (You can likely disregard the
"apache2.conf" stuff - sounds like they used their own file naming, as
the default is normally "httpd.conf")  - Apache itself is very flexible,
there are many ways to configure it - nagios simply guesses you are
using redhat, so it tries to drop it's httpd config into
/etc/httpd/conf.d)

HTH ... 

Regards,
jamie
