Nagios Directory Index Forbidden by Options Directive

After installing Nagios on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B by following these installation instructions, I ran into an irritating problem. When trying to connect, I got the authentication dialog, but after that, I got an access error in my browser.

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

I searched around on Google but couldn’t find a solution. But after a lot of fiddling with Apache2, I found a solution. There’s a problem with the standard installation of the file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios.conf created by make install-webconf

Raspberry Pi avahi-daemon disabled because there is a unicast .local domain – solved

by 9 Comments

When setting up a Raspberry Pi with SqueezePlug, my favorite distribution for setting up a music server I always get the error message “avahi-daemon disabled because there is a unicast .local domain” because I have a lot of Apple equipment configured with Bonjour. To fix it, all you need to do is to edit /etc/default/avahi-daemon and change the line:

AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=1

to

AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0

then restart the Avahi-daemon with

sudo service avahi-daemon restart

Problem solved.

Last time I configured my web server with Ubuntu Server, I had problems finding all the instructions on what and how to install everything needed to get a WordPress blog with W3 Total Cache, CDN, Apache2 MPM Worker and fcgi working. So this is my attempt to write down the steps needed to get the server going. You might find it of interest if your needs are similar to mine. Here’s the requirements for my WordPress blog.

  • Apache MPM Worker threaded version
  • APC PHP Opcode optimizer
  • All the required modules for W3 Total Cache
  • Graphics libraries for Mint statistics

Web server with SSD disk

SSD

My old web server built on old spare parts had a hard disk crash a month ago. So I had to put it up on my BlueHost account while waiting to get hold of a new disk. I decided to try out a SSD disk, so I got hold of a 60gb IBM SSD disk. Without any optimizations, it can now handle double the traffic! I’ll continue to optimize tomorrow to get the most out of it. I’m doing an article on how to set up a LAMP server on Ubuntu Linux for WordPress with all the stuff needed to get W3 Total Cache, APC and other stuff working, because I can’t find a good article that describes everything. I will start writing on it tomorrow.
