nagios 401, will not accept username password. [SOLVED]

[michael12345]

I'm getting a 401 error from nagios when I browse to http://localhost/nagios.
"A username and password are being requested by http://localhost. The site says: "nagios""

I used the following command to set the password
# htpasswd -cs /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
Have also tried without the htpasswd file and with only the -c option

I installed from the rpm in the repo

office nagios]# service httpd status
httpd (pid 5978) is running...

office nagios]# service nagios status
nagios (pid 6016) is running...

Any thoughts? I've read through the Max Hendrick guide at Cent and googled, seems a few people have run into this before.
