Setting up Nagios on Backwater

The first thing I wanted to do was deal with the web server. I didn’t want apache serving any pages other than nagios. I decided to redirect everything to techmentor.com. To do this I has to allow overrides int the main conf file:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Then in /var/www/html I created the following .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
AddType text/cache-manifest manifest
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^backwater\.techmentor\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.techmentor\.com\/" [R=301,L]

Another piece of interest was that I had to separately install check_nrpe.
