Nagios returns error "(Return code of 127 is out of bounds"

[LeftyF]

I am running Nagios on an Amazon Centos instance. I have installed Nagios 3.5.1 via yum. On a dead stock install I'm getting the "(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)" error on the localhost host configuration (stock). I had tried to migrate in my host configurations from a 3.2.3 instance but was getting the same error, so I removed Nagios and started again from scratch only to get this error. This seems to be for the check_http check command as this is the only plugin called by the localhost configuration. I have confirmed that the plugin is in the default path of /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http. I put Nagios into debug mode and the output of the checks looks like:

I've searched hi and lo but following the threads and documented troubleshooting has yielded no solution.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Your $USER1$ in resource.cfg is set to /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins

Adjust it - you need it to be set as /usr/local/nagios/libexec - it may break other things...

Got it - thank you! The build from yum is broken out of the box apparently. We ended up installing an RPM of 3.5.1 which worked as installed. I knew it was a path somewhere that was causing it but could not track it down.

Thanks again for the response
