Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /usr/local/nagios/share/

It sounds like your attempt to browse the directory is not finding a default document (or there is no default set), and you do not allow for directory browsing in that directory.

Take a look at these directives.  I recommend default document first.  The "Options +Indexes" is probably not what you are looking for.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options

I am sorry guys, i tried both solutions provided and i get same error.

Did you try setting a default document with DirectoryIndex?  How?  What happened?

Cross check the following files are in the directory

[/etc/httpd/conf.d]# cd /usr/local/nagios/share
[/usr/local/nagios/share]# ls -l

Please check the directory permissions that other's have read access.

Permissions are nagios:nagios and 777 on /usr/local/nagios/share

linuxpig: All your web files are belonging to root!! This should not happen..  Especially dynamic contnent might not be updated this way. There's a great probability that the system cant even read your nagios config file. Youur naigos folder should belong to the user  nagios:nagios.

Will you cange it and retry?

cd /usr/local
chown -R nagios.nagios nagios

Changed as requested, still same problem. Here is my /usr/local/nagios dir

drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Mar 01 07:12 bin

ok did you restart your nagios service ?

If the restart didn't solve your problem I'll suggest you remove and reinstall nagios. It seems to me that the installation has failed somewhere. I'd been set-up nagios using the same guide with no apparent problem part from the initial SELinux issue.

I have done the reinstall of Nagios according to the link i said in previous post. I have done this on other server and have no problem like then there. I have compared install and all same. no SELinux issue either.

Did you do this ? or you could  have added it to you main HTTPD servers config.

I tried this but not working, so i give up on this. I thank all for input!

Don't give up yet, i'd like to see the solution of this because of the simple fact i got the exact same problem. Im running on CentOS 5.

I found the errors in my config file. Im using CentOS5 so I dont know how nagios installed on your OS.

There were 2 errors. First of all there was no / behind the locations. And the folders were wrong. The original conf did this:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi"
<Directory "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi">

Alias /nagios "/usr/share/nagios"
<Directory "/usr/share/nagios">

IT SHOULD BE THIS:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi-bin/">

Alias /nagios "/usr/share/nagios/html/"
<Directory "/usr/share/nagios/html/">

Full config here, I dont need any auth because its all internal but you can just uncomment them and make the htpasswd file if you want.


ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi-bin/">
#      SSLRequireSSL
         Options ExecCGI
         AllowOverride None
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
#        Order deny,allow
#        Deny from all
#        Allow from 127.0.0.1
#         AuthName "Nagios Access"
#         AuthType Basic
#         AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
#         Require valid-user
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/share/nagios/html/"
<Directory "/usr/share/nagios/html/">
#        SSLRequireSSL
        Options None
         AllowOverride None
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
#        Order deny,allow
#        Deny from all
#        Allow from 127.0.0.1
#         AuthName "Nagios Access"
#         AuthType Basic
#         AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
#         Require valid-user
</Directory>

I have seen this result as well and added the slashes but it was to no avail. I have uninstalled the program and moved onto Zenoos. Thanks kindly to all who tried to assist
