RPM install of Nagios was fairly strait forward. I installed the RPMs for
Nagios and the Nagios-plugins along with the misc. required RPMs. Unfortunately,
all the documentation is written toward a non rpm install. <br>
<br>
The RPM file added all the appropriate httpd.conf configurations, and I setup
up proper users, etc. It is viewable at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://server.brookhurd.com/nagios/">[link]</a><br>
<br>
userid: guest<br>
password: guest<br>
<br>
[root@server nagios]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios start<br>
Starting network monitor: nagios<br>
CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.<br>
[root@server nagios]#<br>
<br>
I just cannot get it to run and cannot see the issue with the Nagios config.<br>
<br>
<br>
I even altered ownership info in the 'nagios.conf' to root:<br>
<br>
<br>
# NAGIOS USER<br>
# This determines the effective user that Nagios should run as.<br>
# You can either supply a username or a UID.<br>
<br>
#nagios_user=nagios<br>
nagios_user=root<br>
<br>
<br>
# NAGIOS GROUP<br>
# This determines the effective group that Nagios should run as.<br>
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.<br>
<br>
#nagios_group=nagios<br>
nagios_group=apache<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Anybody have an idea of where I went wrong?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
