Apache directives needed to use the NAGIOS CGI interface
Problem:
The manual is quite unclear on exactly what is needed when you want to use the NAGIOS CGI interface.
 
Solution:
Add the following to your httpd.conf file:

# Added for NAGIOS
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/


AllowOverride AuthConfig
order allow,deny
allow from all

# End of NAGIOS

In addition you may have to edit your access.conf file, and we recommend you add a strict .htaccess file. Here is our
/usr/local/nagios/sbin/.htaccess file:

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

The htpasswd file is created with the htpasswd utility as usual.
