Core 3.3.1 is missing var/spool/checkresults

Post by jamfuse »

Hi all,

I have recently compiled and installed Nagios Core 3.3.1 on Ubuntu Server 10.04 64bit.

The install without any problems but when I try to start it or verify the configuration it says that it can't access a file listed in nagios.cfg

I checked the line reference and found that the file is /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults

I checked the directory and found that the var folder is missing. To make Nagios run I had to create the var/spool/checkresults folder structure and set the permissions as per an instance of Nagios v3.2.1 on Ubuntu Server 8.04 32bit

Nagios then ran OK. However I was building a second one and encountered exactly the same problem - Is this a bug in Core v3.3.1?


Thanks,
Jamie
