This will show you exactly what is going on, which file it is trying to open, and I think the user/group info. On Solaris I add 'truss -aef -o /tmp/httpd.txt -wall -r all /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd' to the apachectl startup script. I don't know what the strace options are under linux, but they should be in the man page.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=150393617-09122002><FONT color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=150393617-09122002><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Greg</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> Chris Losch [mailto:Chris.Losch@newham.gov.uk]<BR><B>Sent:</B> Monday, December 09, 2002 11:05 AM<BR><B>To:</B> 'Jon Lyons'<BR><B>Cc:</B> 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net'<BR><B>Subject:</B> RE: [Nagios-users] RE: Permissions Error (Could not stat() command file )<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=765304716-09122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Jon, </FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=765304716-09122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am 99% sure, (from what I read in the ps -ef output, and httpd.conf)</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=765304716-09122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=765304716-09122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Relevant part from httpd.conf</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=765304716-09122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>------------------------------------------</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=765304716-09122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2># If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run<BR># httpd as root initially and it will switch.<BR>#<BR># User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.<BR># .
