NCPA new install not working on RHEL 6.9 server

[hpzaramk]

I have installed NCPA using the following command, Looks like it sets the in-sufficient privilege on the directory..

rpm -Uvh https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/ncp ... x86_64.rpm

Can you confirm if this is the correct command to use as i need to deploy NCPA on multiple RHEL nodes ? Do i need to use rpm -ivh instead of Uvh as its the fresh install..

Thanks,
Ram.

Yes, this is the correct command as outlined in our documentation:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/ncp ... g-NCPA.pdf

Why would you be getting different (not sufficient) permissions on your system is beyond me... I tested the install on RHEL 6 and RHEL 7, and in both cases, the permissions were correct.

Code: Select all

[root@TEST_XI_RHEL_6 ~]# rpm -Uvh https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/ncpa/ncpa-latest.el6.x86_64.rpm

The permissions are set to 775 (for the ncpa.cfg.d directory) and to 664 (for the files in it) in the specs file...
