server migration 32 to 64 bit errors

[QS1]

Centos 6.6 64 bit OS
Xi version 2014R2.0

Following the 32 to 64 bit nagios documentation I was able to restore the 32 bit system on the 64 bit OS.
There are three issues that I see:
1) Nagios service will not start
2) httpd service will not start
3) when running through the ./upgrade i receive a NagiosQL password invalid

Before running the 64 bit restore I changed the 32 bit mysql passwords to the default for nagiosxi.


Nagios error:
[root@localhost ~]# service nagios start
Starting nagios:CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.


httpd error:

• Is SSL installed/enabled on the 64-bit machine?
• Are both servers the same major version of 6.x?
• Did you have any custom httpd options in the old server?

- Is SSL installed/enabled on the 64-bit machine?
httpd service is now running properly. The SSL certificates were not moved over. they are now in place and the httpd conf edited. Thank you

- Are both servers the same major version of 6.x?
32 bit Centos was 5.5
64 bit Centos is 6.6
both are VMs

- Did you have any custom httpd options in the old server?
httpd service now running and I can log into nagiosxi GUI successfully and see all host and service checks

Nagios service will still not start

[tmcdonald]

Run the following and show us the output please:

Code: Select all

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

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

What is the output of:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagios/etc/static/

Looks like a possible permissions issue. Are you actively using check_mk? Or mk_livestatus?

Also, since you migrated, did you actually change the authentication passwords for the DB(s) to match what you had on the old system? The locations that those changes would need to be made are listed here:

[QS1]

If I recall it was suggested to turn mk_livestatus OFF during the last upgrade that took place on the 32 bit system. There were errors received going to 2014 2.0 on centos 5.5 32 bit.

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

before migration I changed the mysql password back to nagiosxi default

The Nagios XI backup script certainly will not backup the file /usr/share/doc/check_mk/check_mk_templates.cfg that you have linked in your static directory.

I would remove that for now and try to verify the config again.

[QS1]

I copied the check_mk folder from the 32 bit system to the 64 bit system and ran the 2.1 upgrade with success.
-I can login to the web interface successfully
-I can add/remove checks with no error when applying config
-I can stop and start nagios and process settings (active host and service checks) successfully
..everything looks like it's functional

when i run the following command I still get the check_mk return:

[root@localhost ~]# ls -la /usr/local/nagios/etc/static/

drwsrwsr-x 2 apache nagios 4096 Dec 8 11:51 .

-rwxrwxr-x 1 apache nagios 0 Dec 23 15:39 xitest.cfg

[root@localhost ~]#

If this (check_mk) is not configured correctly what am I losing as far as functionality?

[Box293]

check_mk is not part of the Nagios XI product suite, so from a Nagios XI perspective you are not losing any functionality with it being disabled.
