You can install the web interface using the command
sudo make install-webconfThen we check the nagios.conf file is present in the Apache folder. In the Ubuntu server, the configuration file needs to be present in the sites-enabled folder. Thus, we found the file was not present in the location.
Thus, from the installation folder, we run the command to move the file to the correct location.
sudo /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 sample-config/httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/nagios.confFinally, we restart the Apache server using the command
service apache2 restartAfter restarting the service the Nagios web interface starts to load.
