trouble getting started: getting error 127 out of bounds on check_http

[Arno Lehmann]

Hello,

well, this is the time for me to write a few sentences, too.

We are not angry.
Basically, many people here, including myself, simply don't don't answer 
to questions that could either be avoided by actually reading the manual 
or trying to understand the problem.

I'm simply tired of reading "Nagios doesn't work and I get an output out 
of bounds message".

Whoever wants to operate a system like Nagios really needs the ability 
to understand these messages and to find the reasons for it. And, while 
many people on the lists are very helpful, no-one will give an 
introduction to unix(like) OSes and Nagios via email again and again.

Because that seems to be the most useful advice people can give you, 
assuming you want a working Nagios installation.

I see things differently: First people point out that you have to do 
lots of work yourself, and also supply more useful information, but if 
after the second or third mail you don't do, most people don't want to 
spend their time with someone who doesn't show the will to learn and 
work himself (This is not especially directed at you, there have been 
many cases before and others will come after us...).

Right, but becoming not even an expert, only a succesful user, you will 
have to lear quite a lot. Nobody can make that part easier for you.

Then, try to make as much progess as possible yourself.

In other words, you only want answers like "do this, do that, press 
here, turn that screw, and everything's fine"?. Sorry, but that's not 
how things work.

Considering check_ldaps:
You obviously didn't read the release notes that come with the plugins.
You obviously didn't try the plugin from the shell.
You didn't tell us which check_ldaps you use, and you didn't give any 
information showing that you actually checked your installation yourself 
- paths, file rights, command output, and makefile output, for example.

hese hints should help you a long way towards understanding why 
check_ldaps doesn't work for you, by the way.

Have a nice day,

Arno
