Hi All Problem ------- I am trying to get Nagios v3.0.3 running on my FreeBSD 6.2 box. The Nagios software was installed from a ported package. I can run Nagios in the foreground but not as a daemon. I get the following error in the nagios log:
[1217937468] Nagios 3.0.3 starting... (PID=42846) [1217937468] Local time is Tue Aug 05 11:57:48 UTC 2008 [1217937468] LOG VERSION: 2.0 [1217937468] Cannot lock lockfile '/var/spool/nagios/nagios.lock': Invalid argument. Bailing out... My host machines OS details: FreeBSD xxx 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 10:40:27 UTC 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Fix attempts ------------ 1. changed the permissions on the "rw" directory to 777 and also making the lockfile, nagios.lock, writeable by everyone; 2. deleted lockfile and rebooted the machine to release any locks. Other syslog and apache logs are clean. I am about to try a Nagios installation from the source download in case this proves to be an issue with the FreeBSD ported package. Can anyone offer any clues?
