what are the permissions on the file?

this upgrade is likely running as the nagios user. ensure they have the correct permission.

if your security team has modified any files, or altered permission of what Nagios can do - this could be affecting it.

Thanks @tacolover101!

@dbsaust, as tacolover101 mentioned. Let us know the permissions on the directory and the files so we can see.

Code: Select all

ls -lad /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools

ll /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools

You could try resetting the permissions with a script located in XI. If available.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts

Code: Select all

./reset_config_perms.sh

Then rerun the ./upgrade from the latest tar and see what happens.

Thanks @tacolover101 and @kyang
Changed install_dashlet.php permission to 755
Upgrade was successful after chmod.

Thanks again.

Sounds good! I'll be closing this thread!

If you have any more questions, feel free to create another thread.

Thanks for using the Nagios Support Forum!
