Nagios Service fails to start

[xltkx]

Hi there!

I'm new to nagios and tried to setup my first installation today on Centos 6.4 x64 VM.
Installation with plugins and dependencies worked, but now nagios service crashes right after starting it.
Log sais:

Code: Select all

[1384957453] Local time is Wed Nov 20 15:24:13 CET 2013
[1384957453] LOG VERSION: 2.0
[1384957453] qh: Failed to init socket '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/query.sh'. bind() failed: No such file or directory
[1384957453] Error: Failed to initialize query handler. Aborting

any ideas on that?

Thanks!
Lorenz

What version of nagios is this, on what distro, and how did you build it?

Hi!

- Newest Nagios DIY from Nagios-Website
- Centos 6.4
- Built from package according to instructions in INSTALL-File

Thanks

I would assume that you installed core 4.0.1? This bug was fixed prior to this, so your issue is an odd one. You can workaround this by adding the following line to your nagios.cfg and then restarting nagios:

Code: Select all

query_socket=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/query.sh

And the restart:

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Thank you, that did the trick!
