Cannot open resource file

[t3dus]

I'm running Nagios 4.1.1 on a Raspberry Pi and when i just changed some config files and ran "service nagios restart" i'm now getting this error below. The resource.cfg file DOES exist so i'm not sure why nagios.cfg can't open it.

root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects# service nagios status -l

I need ideas on how to fix it.

It could be that the permissions for that file was changed and the Nagios process cannot read it.
Try running the following to reset the permissions and see if that fixes the issue.

Code: Select all

chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg
chmod 664 /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg

Yep it was a permission issue. I sorted it out.

Thanks.
