nagios 500 error

[deepc2007]

just ran into the same problem.
has anyone a solution?

[rbtux]

sry i have no idea about the problem (I think it's nagios (config) related not ispcp)... but a question

what is the sense of installing nagios on a ispcp server???

I can't imagine any situation where this should be useful...

[BeNe]

Nagios use .htaccess for Authorization or not ?
Is there a Command in it that FastCGI can not handle ??

Hi, may I ask?
Ain't it an question for the nagios developers or their forum, I think they know their application best, and if the answer are of interest for ispCP (what it seems to be), then post an HowTo about the way you solved it.

[rbtux]

I would really like to know why you are running nagios on ispcp?
IMHO a surveillance system should be on a separate machine... What is the purpose of this system?

Maybe you can made a good point to convice me...

[deepc2007]

@micco: no it is a question for this forum, because the problem was the apache configuration
@rbtux: you are right, monit would be another solution
and it is useful, because of the service check function of nagios (restarts services if they stop [mostly nessesary for apache]).
in adition you have a log to prove your uptime and analyse errors.

[rbtux]

ah ok... that don't bother me, because I've got a separate machine with nagios runnig doing all the things you mentioned...

Hey guys,

I got nagios set up like this:

I created the directory /var/www/nagios and copied the contents of /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios2 and /usr/share/nagios2/htdocs in there, all owned by the www-data - User:

Code:

mkdir /var/www/nagios
mkdir /var/www/nagios/cgi-bin /var/www/nagios/htdocs
cp /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios2/* /var/www/nagios/cgi-bin/
cp -R /usr/share/nagios2/htdocs/* /var/www/nagios/htdocs/
chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/nagios

Then I created the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/nagios2.conf with the following content:

Code:

#
# nagios Virtual Host Webinterface
#

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80>
        ServerAdmin     admin@mydomain.com
        DocumentRoot    /var/www/nagios/htdocs

        ServerName      nagios.mydomain.com

        ErrorLog        /var/log/apache2/nagios.mydomain.com-error.log
        CustomLog       /var/log/apache2/nagios.mydomain.com-access.log combined

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/nagios2 /var/www/nagios/cgi-bin
        ScriptAlias /nagios2/cgi-bin /var/www/nagios/cgi-bin

        <Directory /var/www/nagios>
                Options FollowSymLinks

                DirectoryIndex index.html

                AllowOverride AuthConfig
                Order Allow,Deny
                Allow From All

                AuthName "Nagios Access"
                AuthType Basic
                AuthUserFile /etc/nagios2/htpasswd.users
                require valid-user
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and enabled it via

Code:

a2ensite nagios2.conf
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

That's all. It's working.
(If I missed some explanation, please tell me)

Is this worth making a Wiki HowTo of it?
