Fresh Install Nagios 4 "Error in configuration file"

[t3dus]

Haven't even gotten step one done yet because I can't get the stupid centos server to connect to the internet even though IP Address information is configured correct and the network is enabled.

Not sure what the deal is but until I can sort that out I can't continue.

I ran into problems when I tried to run the command below

Code: Select all

service nagios start

which resulted in

Code: Select all

# service nagios start
Reloading systemd:                                         [  OK  ]
Starting nagios (via systemctl):  Job for nagios.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nagios.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
                                                           [FAILED]

Please run the following command as root from the Nagios server command line and post the results:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

[t3dus]

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

nets in this error

-bash: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios: No such file or directory

[tmcdonald]

Odd, this is after you followed @rkennedy's post? What do you have under /usr/local/nagios/ at this point?

[t3dus]

that was after i followed his instructions..

Code: Select all

]# cd /usr/local/nagios/
[root@localhost nagios]# dir
etc  var

I'll try again on monday

Definitely keep us posted, hopefully we can get this resolved for you quickly.

[t3dus]

wondering if i should do a fresh install of centos again and start over or what is the best method going forward from here.

[bwallace]

Starting over would probably be the quickest route to take. I can vouch for the instructions that rkennedy posted, as I ran through them exactly and did not encounter any errors during (or after) the install. I installed Nagios Core on a clean, minimal CentOs 7. The only thing I did to CentOs 7 prior to installing Core was running "yum install wget" - that's it.
