<div>Hi Shahid & Ankush,</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks for your replies. But, I guess, these directives are not meant for Nagios on Ubuntu (if one follows the Quickstart Guide). For Ubuntu, the path is "/usr/local/nagios/share". Moreover, I do not have a 'nagios' directory under "/usr/lib/".</div> <div> </div> <div><u>New observation</u>:</div> <div>If the cgi.cfg file is edited to enable 'default_user=nagiosadmin', then I can access the Process Info screen, etc. However, I if try stopping or restarting the nagios service from within the Process Info screen, it errors out stating this:</div> <div> </div> <div>=-=-=-=</div> <div><font color="#ff0000">Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update!</font></div> <div>The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect.
