apache web server error

Nagios is configured on the webserver at
http://localhost/nagios/

here is the URL ( got it from "copy link location" on the link )
http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail

Thanks, I did try that... but i think i am missing the step of creating .htaccess file.. I will go try that..

by the way, does it matter if i m logged in as root??

I tried to log in as "nagios", it gave me bunch of gnome errors... by following documentation i have nagios as the username and as the group

./configure ....--with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-grp=nagios

my question is that if i delete the nagios account (delete home directory also) AND then i create another account nagios.... would there be any errors..
i suppose not....

please advise..

It will not be a probelm if you recreate user nagios. But I think problem is tha user nagios don't have GNOME libraries in his PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables. Or maybe that libraries are can't be read by usual user.

i guess thats wat happened...it slammed me with repeating popup error windows...

I will try creating a new account with "nagios"

Is logged in under root an issue at all? i mean does the error ( below ) has any thing to do with being logged in under root?
