Welcome!  I hope you enjoy using Nagios as much as I do.


A common reason for this problem is that the correct permissions are not
applied.

When you compiled nagios, did you run "make install-webconf"?

After that you should have reloaded the Apache config.  The command for this
might vary depending on what Linux distribution you are using.  As an
example, on Ubuntu it is..

  /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Another problem can be that the Nagios daemon is not running.  If you enter:

  ps -ef | grep nagios

does this show the daemon running?

It is also a good idea to check your nagios config before starting the
Nagios daemon.  You do this by entering:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

(you might need to alter those if you installed in a different location).
If the verification fails, you will need to fix whatever the problems are in
your config before continuing.

Which version of Linux are you using, and which instructions did you follow
when installing Nagios?  Nagios can be installed in lots of different ways
so it will help to know which one you were working to.

Cheers,

Jim
