Can some one please help me setting up Nagios on NginX. I installed  
spawn-fcgi and fcgiwrap in Ubuntu, and I have Nagios 3.2.3 installed in  
/opt/nagios. So I have the two folders: /opt/nagios/share for web files,  
and /opt/nagios/sbin for cgi scripts.

I tried with this config (with no success though):

```auto
location / {
    root /opt/nagios/share;
    index index.html;

    rewrite ^/nagios/images/(.*)\.png /images/$1.png break;

    auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file conf/htpasswd;
  }

  location ~ \.cgi$ {
    root /opt/nagios/sbin;
    rewrite ^/nagios/cgi-bin/(.*)\.cgi /$1.cgi break;

    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

          fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
          fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/opt/nagios$fastcgi_script_name; # same path as above

    auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file conf/htpasswd;

    fastcgi_param AUTH_USER $remote_user;
    fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
  }
```

This config is adaped from  
[http://www.matejunkie.com/howto-let-nginx-serve-the-nagios-web-interface/](http://www.matejunkie.com/howto-let-nginx-serve-the-nagios-web-interface/)

Does anyone use Nagios with NginX and can send me a working  
configuration?

Thank you in advance,  
Vlad.

This works for me:

}

}  
location ~ ^/nagios/(._.php)$  
{  
alias /usr/local/nagios/share/$1;  
fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;  
include fcgi;  
auth\_basic “Restricted”;  
auth\_basic\_user\_file htpasswd;  
}  
location ~ .cgi$  
{  
root /usr/local/nagios/sbin/;  
rewrite ^/nagios/cgi-bin/(.\*).cgi /$1.cgi break;  
fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:49233;  
include fcgi;

```
            auth_basic "Restricted";
            auth_basic_user_file htpasswd;

            fastcgi_param AUTH_USER $remote_user;

            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    }

}
