Hi again,<br><br>Strange...<br><br>Some questions:<br><br>You're sure you restarted apache after editing httpd.conf?<br>What is the output of 'apachectl configtest'?<br>What files are in /usr/local/nagios/sbin -- are they files like 'status.cgi', 'avail.cgi', 'cmd.cgi' etc.? Are they executable by the user that apache is running as?<br>
Is there anything useful in the apache error logs?<br>What do you see when you go to http://<nagioshost>/nagios with your web browser? Is that when you get the error below?<br>Is the nagios host a Linux or Unix host (sorry, can't remember if you've specified this before)? If so, which flavour/version?<br>
Did you compile nagios on this host, install it via a package manager, or copy it from another host?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Guy.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 2:35 PM, Kaplan, Andrew H. <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:AHKAPLAN@partners.org">AHKAPLAN@partners.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div><div><br>Looking at your attached httpd.conf file, you seem to have configured
the URL '/cgi-bin/nagios' to be the ScriptAlias for the nagios CGIs, but then
you are trying to access them with the URL '/nagios/cgi-bin'. Provided the
Nagios CGI scripts are in /usr/local/nagios/sbin, as they are by default, you
should probably define your ScriptAlias like this:<br><br>ScriptAlias
