Hi again,

I followed a bunch of instructions relating to configuring Apache
directives and setting things in nagios.conf, and I`m still not able
to log in.

I am really confused now, when I tail the logs for Apache I get this
when trying to log in :


[Fri Dec 11 13:20:09 2009] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] (2)No such
file or directory: Could not open password file:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
[Fri Dec 11 13:20:09 2009] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] access to
/nagios/ failed, reason: verification of user id 'nagiosadmin' not
configured

I have the following permissions set up :

[root at zabbix etc]# pwd
/usr/local/nagios/etc
[root at zabbix etc]# ls -l
total 88
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 11408 Dec 11 13:16 cgi.cfg
-rwxrwxrwx 1 nagios nagios    26 Dec 11 12:52 htpassword.users
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 43776 Dec 11 10:36 nagios.cfg
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios  4096 Dec 11 10:36 objects
-rw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios  1340 Dec 11 10:36 resource.cfg
[root at zabbix etc]#

Can someone please help me, I have gone through a few articles and I
am obviously missing something as to why I cannot log in

Thank you.
