problem installing ndo2db/ndoutils on nagios 3.2.3

[abrist]

Well, I was was "curious" about the version as I was going to try to reproduce your problem. . . . .
What version of ubuntu/debian are you running?
What version of ndodutils are you running?

Well I found a folder named ndoutils-2.0.0, must be version 2.0 and the folder where I installed from.

Code: Select all

root@oversun:~# uname -r
3.11.0-18-generic

in ubuntu desktop, it is written 12.04 LTS

NDOUTILS 2.0 "make install" does not support nagios 3.x.x by default. You need to copy the compiled nagios 3 ndomod to the proper location as the core 4 version is installed by default:

Code: Select all

cd <path/to/ndo/source>
cp src/ndo2db-3x /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db

[majed]

Code: Select all

root@oversun:~# cd /var/tmp/ndoutils-2.0.0/ndoutils-2.0.0/src
root@oversun:/var/tmp/ndoutils-2.0.0/ndoutils-2.0.0/src# cp ndo2db-3x /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db
root@oversun:/var/tmp/ndoutils-2.0.0/ndoutils-2.0.0/src#
root@oversun:/var/tmp/ndoutils-2.0.0/ndoutils-2.0.0/src# service ndoutils restart

ndoutils.

i didn't like nagios 4 as it still lacks a working init.d script.

what else is there to do?

At this point, you may want to attempt to run a 1.x ndo install just to make sure it is not a bug in 2.0.

This was fixed in the last release.

thanks about the news about nagios 4, i installed it some time ago and it is working fine. Now i found the time to work with ndo utils again and this time i played with mysql. i created a user named nagios with password nagios and a database named nagios. i also followed the instructions on another site and installed ndo2db. but i still get the same error except that this time i have ndo.sock, ndo2db.debug, ndo2db.lock files created.
the error still is :

Code: Select all

Nagios core 4 requires ndoutils 2.x.
What version of ndoutils are you running. Which ndo bin did you install from the source dir?

[majed]

well it is still from the same folder caller ndutils 2.0. I didn't try out the earlier version. I was hoping that the problem was with nagios 3 but, up to now, i guess it is not.

Mod note: Please keep discussions on topic and nagios related. All posts have been modified, not just yours.

If you are running core 4:

Code: Select all

cd /var/tmp/ndoutils-2.0.0/ndoutils-2.0.0/src
 cp ndo2db-4x /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db

If you are running core 3:

Code: Select all

cd /var/tmp/ndoutils-2.0.0/ndoutils-2.0.0/src
 cp ndo2db-3x /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db

And then restart ndo:

Code: Select all

service nagios restart
service ndo2db restart

it's a pitty the forum is censored like wikipedia, you can go ahead and kill me. if you still have comments you still can send them to me.
i already did what you suggested while reinstalling ndoutills and ndo2db. I went ahead and did what you said one more time.
after starting ndo2db it gave an error.

Code: Select all

service ndo2db start
Starting ndo2db:Could not bind socket: Address already in use

the error can only be fixed by the kill command.
Anyway, the problem remains.
Hopefully my word reached your heart.
