[Nagios-users] Unable to log in to Nagios
Greetings community, I have recently installed Nagios by following this tutorial, to the letter : http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-fedora.html However, when I log into http://localhost/nagios, and enter the user nagiosadmin and the password I set, it just keeps bouncing back to the login screen. I have run through the setup instructions a number of times thinking I may have missed something, but I covered everything again and I`m still not able to log in. When I try to access the forums (http://nagios.meulie.net/) I get a page not found error. I am running Centos 5.2 i386. Can someone please point me in the right direction to help solve this, or simply blurt out the answer for me if you know it :) Thank you in advance for your prompt reply and your willingness to help. -- Regards Chris Blake TAU SPACE Operations Manager -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

From the quickstart: 5) Configure the Web Interface [...] Create a nagiosadmin account for logging into the Nagios web interface. Remember the password you assign to this account - you'll need it later. htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin [...] Your htpasswd file probably either does not contain what you think it does, or is not where it should be. Try re-creating it and using a very simple password.

I used a simple password, 123, and this is the result of that command : [r...@nagios ~]# cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpassword.users nagiosadmin:as6UMfOBi.VLI I am still getting bounced back to the login screen. Is the problem perhaps occurring with Apache ? -- Regards Chris Blake TAU SPACE Operations Manager Phone: 011 807 8300 -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
