Well that seems to have worked. I ran the configure script, then make all (still receivedthe warnings), and make install.
then I ran
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

and received this (excluding things that reference my servers)

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check


and when I ran
/etc/init.d/nagios restart
It was successful.

I am a little uncomfortable without the updated init file though.

Nothing specific, just concerned about potential conflicts. I don't know how different the scripts are.

You could always compare them, though as far as I am aware, there were no big changes to init options in core 4.

This happens on a clean install as well. The init file is pointing to the wrong place by default. I had the same issue and rolled back using snapshots. I stood up a new VM with Ubuntu server 12.04 and followed the quick start steps for Ubuntu and it gave the exact same issue. The problem here obviously being that if someone doesn't have a backup, or if someone is trying to do a fresh install of Core 4.0.0 on Ubuntu, it won't work. Here's the bug report: http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=460

Seems like a lot of people are having the issue, or issues resulting from the same underlying issue.

Was there a file named:
Code: Select all
init-script.debian

in your nagios source folder?

It doesn't seem to be there. I expanded the search, just in case I was doing something silly:

Code: Select all
root@Nagios:~# find / -iname 'init-script.debian'
root@Nagios:~# find / -iname 'init'

No, it looks like you are doing everything right.

mlong: Can you post the init script you are currently using in code wraps?

Looks like this guy may have some input as well: http://roger.steneteg.org/492/installing-nagios-from-source/

I'm also thinking about cloning my current setup, and upgrading without doing the make install-init command and seeing if it still works. If I get around to it in the next couple of days, I'll post my results.
