I am assuming you installed from source then. > But, the problem is when i tried to run nagios in debug mode using the > command /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v > /usr/local/nagios/etc/init.d/nagios.cfg This isn't debug mode but it will try to verify your configuration then exit. nagios.cfg is in a very strange directory.

The plugins don't install configuration files, but nagios can if you run make install-config. They will not be explicitly named 'sample' but that's what they are. > Nagios 2.10 > Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) > Last Modified: 10-21-2007 > License: GPL > > Error: Cannot open main configuration file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/-v' for > reading! This error couldn't have resulted from the command line you stated you ran above. It just looks like you didn't type the command line correctly. > Warning: Cannot open log file '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log' for > writing > Nagios 2.10 starting...

If you installed nagios from source, it should have set appropriate directory permissions. Are the ownership and permissions on the file/directories such that the nagios user can read/write to that file? Did you create the nagios user/group? Did you edit the main configuration file and nagios user and nagios group? http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#nagios_user Also review the installation doc to make sure you've set everything correctly -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installing.html Finally, you don't state what version of RHEL you're using. If SELinux is enabled and enforcing, make sure that SELinux isn't denying access. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
