I'm with Mark Powell on this - a better question might be - why risk a critical infrastructure component's ability to function to make things a bit easier for a few? Of course, I'm implying a general statement, and you have a specific situation to address. > Does cfg_dir=/Some/Path actually work ? and if so, would anyone be so > kind as to paste a few lines containing these directives from their > nagios.cfg ? I understand "cfg_dir" to only relate to object config files, and putting cgi.cfg in cfg_dir won't work. I've just done a quick test on my FreeBSD 6 test box, and thats how I found it to work. - Set cfg_dir (to local *nix dir) - put all object config files in there - comment out specific object config lines in nagios.cfg - leave cgi.cfg in same dir as nagios.cfg nagios -v works properly, and nagios starts happily - copy cgi.cfg into cfg_dir - I get the same error you reported. - remove cgi.cfg from cfg_dir - all better again. tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
