<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Hi all, I installed Nagios on a 32-bit system (CentOS 5.3) following the directions given here: <A href="http://docs.cslabs.clarkson.edu/wiki/Install_Nagios_on_CentOS_5">http://docs.cslabs.clarkson.edu/wiki/Install_Nagios_on_CentOS_5</A> Everything went well and I ran nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg and got no errors or warnings. But when I tried to start Nagios, it failed. Checked the log file and it reads: [1277993818] Error in configuration file '/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg' - Line 466 (Check result path is not a valid directory) [1277993818] Nagios 3.2.1 starting... (PID=27996) [1277993818] Local time is Thu Jul 01 10:16:58 EDT 2010 [1277993818] LOG VERSION: 2.0 [1277993818] Bailing out due to one or more errors encountered in the configuration files. Run Nagios from the command line with the -v option to verify your config before restarting. (PID=27996) Then I opened nagios.cfg file and found this: check_result_path=/var/nagios/spool/checkresults I am pretty sure it's a permission error, but can't seem to fix it. I tried the followings: chmod 777 /var/nagios/spool/checkresults chown -R nagios apache /var/nagios/spool/checkresults ./usermod nagios apache chown -R apache:nagios checkresults And some more permission commands, but no luck. I would really appreciate it if someone could please help me with this. Thanks, h <DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV> <hr />Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
