n00b trying to set up on freebsd

[Kurt Buff]

I'm trying to install nagios on freebsd, and can't get to the point of
getting lynx on the host to talk to http://192.168.8.20/nagios - I get
a 403 "You don't have permission to access /nagios/ on this server."

I'm beating my brains out on this one, and don't know what I'm doing
wrong. I'm sure it's something really simple I'm overlooking, because
just browsing http://192.168.8.20 gets a response. Unfortunately there
isn't a quick install guide for freebsd, so I'm having to do some
translation of the docs.

Any help much appreciated.

More info:

I've created /usr/local/etc/nagios/htpasswd.users, as noted in the
stanzas below.

I've tried www:www and root:wheel and www:nagios as permissions on
/usr/local/www/nagios, with the same result.

I've added the following stanzas to the end of httpd.conf:

----------begin httpd.conf snippet----------
Include etc/apache22/Includes/*.conf

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/www/nagios/cgi-bin"

<Directory "/usr/local/www/nagios/cgi-bin">
   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/www/nagios"

<Directory "/usr/local/www/nagios">
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
</Directory>
----------end httpd.conf snippet----------
