Ongoing Apache/Nagios config problems...

[Jarett DeAngelis]

Actually, as of today, from whatever I changed, this is no longer the case.  ::sigh::

Now I have found that although I thought I told it to when I installed it, Apache is in fact NOT running under xinetd.  I started it manually successfully today.  I can log in to the authentication prompts fine.  

Now, when trying to start Nagios, I get "No lock file found in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock".  For kicks, I tried creating an empty nagios.lock file in that directory, but that produces "ps: error: List of process IDs must follow -p."  And then a generous explanation of how to use ps.

Ideas?

(thanks again for everyone's help)

Olivier,

Thanks again for your help.

1) No.  Apache is running under xinetd and doesn't start (if I understand xinetd correctly) until someone makes a request to port 80.  Is that correct?

2) Nope.  Apache refuses to start.

3) At the moment (I suspect because I haven't finished my config files?  Or will it load anyway and at least quit gracefully?) nagios segfaults whenever I try to run it.  This reminds me, I installed the plugins package and I have no idea where it put the plugins.  Any ideas?

I don't suppose anyone has compiled a walkthrough for getting the system up and running, have they?  I'd be willing to wipe the whole thing out and start from scratch if I had to.

Thanks, Jarett

Jarett,

1. Has Apache started up? What do you get when you do this: ps -def | grep
apache
2. Can you see the the test Apache page?
Go here: http://youserverIP/ 
3. Can you start Nagios? What do you get when you do this: ps -def | grep
nagios

Hi,

I tried this (even added nagios to apache and apache to nagios), but in the
process of checking my httpd logs discovered that I appear to have hosed my
network when trying to set my hostname.

Also, I did not find mod_basic_auth (or mod_auth_basic) in the Package
Installer's list.

And the Nagios docs say AllowOverride should be AuthConfig, not All.  Is
this incorrect?

Why was I never given the opportunity to set my hostname in Red Hat's setup
program, and what is the Right Way to do it now?  As it is I cannot bring
the network up with /etc/init.d/network start.

Add apache to the nagios group, restart the webserver, and restart nagios.
See if there's still a problem... Also, there's a mod_basic_auth that you
might want to try...

You also made sure that Allow Override is "All", right?

Hi again, everyone -

So I tried installing the mod_auth_pgsql package AND change the permissions
to nagios/nagios on the .htaccess files.  Changing the permissions didn't
help, and installing mod_auth_pgsql seems to make it so that httpd can't
start up.  Any ideas?  Are we sure the permissions should be nagios/nagios?
  Shouldn't it be apache/apache?  Or am I not grasping something here?
