I have a problem with check_http. I'd like to monitor my apache server, which is running on 10080 port. When I try to use the script from shell, it works wonderfully:<BR><BR>[root@gentoonagios]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -I localhost -p 10080 <BR>HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 306 bytes in 0,004 seconds |time=0,003844s;;;0,000000 size=306B;;;0 <BR><BR>But, when I setup the nagios services.cfg file and get nagios on, it refuses to work, and it says me "Connection refused".<BR>So, what is the clue?<BR><BR>Thanks a lot for your time. <BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Diego Giurgola<BR><BR>Contatti<BR>Cellulare: 328/1481314<BR>Skype: diego.giurgola<BR>Profilo LinkedIn: <A href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/diegogiurgola">http://www.linkedin.com/in/diegogiurgola</A> </BODY></HTML>
