Nagios Setup

I am currently trying to set up Nagios on an Ubuntu (Hoary) computer
running the 2.6.10 kernel.
I installed Nagios using Synaptic. After installing, I read (almost)
the entire documentation. The only parts I didn't read were the
advanced configuration setup sections.
Anyway, I can't seem to do anything after the install. I don't know
what to do next. I tried going to "http://127.0.0.1/nagios/", but I
just got a 404 error.
Any ideas on what I should do? Or what I could do next? Or where I
might look to find answers to these questions?
What I've done:
These are the packages I installed:
nagios-common 2:1.3-0+pre6
nagios-mysql 2:1.3-0+pre6
nagios-plugins 1.3.1.0-12ubuntu3
The first time I tried installing this, I tried downloading the tarball
and installing manually. I followed the instructions to the letter.
But nothing worked. So I removed everything it had installed and tried
again using the package in the repository. That is where I sit right
now.
As for making the necessary httpd config changes, I added in what the
documentation said to add in:
"ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>"
AND
"Alias /nagios/ /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/
<Directory "/usr/share/nagios/htdocs">
Options None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>"
The first time around (when I used the makefile method), I did not do
this, however. I was rather confused and didn't want to mess anything
up.
Also, I am running the Apache2 server, and I have not made any changes
to its configuration except for the additions to httpd listed above.
The main reason I am doing this is to learn from it. I am doing this
for a school project that I had wanted to have finished by Tommorrow.
It isn't the end of the world if it takes a little longer though. I
just hope I can figure this out with some of your help :).
Anyway, if any of you can help me I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
~Matt
