Upgrading to 3 is being problematic. I built 3.2.1 with default options except for specifying user nagios. I've updated my config to pass check-config. I've put in the init.d script. And when I start it, I get [1268949181] Nagios 3.2.1 starting... (PID=5575) [1268949181] Local time is Thu Mar 18 16:53:01 CDT 2010 [1268949181] LOG VERSION: 2.0 [1268949181] Failed to obtain lock on file /var/run/nagios.pid: Permission denied [1268949181] Bailing out due to errors encountered while attempting to daemonize... I can't see why it's trying to access /var/run/nagios.pid; everything else it's doing is in /usr/local/nagios. I stepped through the startup steps in the init.d script, and that error is being logged when it tries to start the main nagios executable; it's not in the script itself. I'm sure it's my new executable; I removed the RPM install, and in stepping through I typed the path by hand, definitely the new nagios executable. I would guess that was "localstatedir" in config; but if so, the default prefix is /usr/local, so it shouldn't end up accessing /var/run. But I don't see the actual config stuff that produces /var/run at all. I haven't looked into the source yet -- but I don't really think I should have to to get it to build and run with default locations, either! -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
