Only problem is, it sets ownership and permissions on the file to nagios/nagios 0644 -- and it's no longer writable. </div> <div> </div> <div> So I have to re-set ownership on the file to "nobody" to allow the web interface to be able to write to the file, and set permissions to 0777. Then I can do my web functions just fine again because the file is writable again by the webserver. </div> <div> </div> <div> Any suggestions on how to properly set things up so I don't have to do this each time the machine or nagios is restarted? </div> </div> </body> </html>
