SLES 9.0
Nagios 2.0rc2
Apache2

Have stepped the documentation. When going to access the web interface (http://servername/nagios) I get:

----------------------------------------------------------
Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 40
-----------------------------------------------------------

From /var/log/apache2/error_log:

What is your DocumentRoot for Apache?

thanks for reply.

from /etc/apache2/default-server.conf :


DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs"

#
# Configure the DocumentRoot
#
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
Options None
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
AllowOverride None
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

It's been a while since I've setup Nagios, and I no longer have access to the servers... however, shouldn't there be a directive in the Apache conf to advise where the Nagios web files are?
