Unable to Update CCM Global Settings

[grantdoug]

We are using non-XI Nagios Core 3.5.1 and Nagios CCM 1.03.

When attempting to update CCM Global Settings using URL, we get the error message "Unable to save to file: /var/www/html/ccm/config/settings.php"

The config.inc file at /var/www/html/ccm seems to be correct:

<?php //config.inc.php
//global configuration options for Nagios CCM
$CFG = array();
if(ENVIRONMENT=='nagiosxi') {
//use XI's generated config
require_once('/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/ccm_config.inc.php');
$CFG['audit_send'] = '/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/send_to_auditlog.php';
}
else { //nagioscore
//nagios file locations
$CFG['plugins_directory'] = '/usr/local/nagios/libexec';
$CFG['command_file'] = '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd';
$CFG['lock_file'] = '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock';
$CFG['audit_send'] = '/dev/null';
//mysql database connection info

How do your permissions look?

Code: Select all

ls -l /var/www/html/ccm/config/settings.php

[grantdoug]

That directory does not exist in our install. Attached an image of what that directory looks like in our install.

CCM directory JHMR

What version of the CCM are you using?

[grantdoug]

CCM 1.03, which is shown in the problem description at the ticket header.

What are the permissions on the file?

Code: Select all

ls -l /var/www/html/ccm/config/settings.php

[grantdoug]

This does not exist in our install.

[rkennedy]

Hm, how about the permissions on the folder entirely?

Code: Select all

ls -l /var/www/html/ccm/config/

Did you follow any kind of instructions when you were setting up that you can link us?

[grantdoug]

There is no ../html/CCM/Config/ directory in our install. However, I did find a config directory in ../html/nagiosql/. I am going to copy the /config directory to ../html/CCM and see what happens. Listed below are the permissions for that directory. Regarding documentation of the install procedure they used back in 2013, I don't have any.

Contents of ../html/nagiosql directory

../html/ccm directory

Here are the permissions

ls -l /var/www/html/ccm/config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22735 May 24 2013 fieldvars.php
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jan 31 08:21 locale
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9910 May 24 2013 main.css
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 662 May 24 2013 settings.php

[rkennedy]

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 662 May 24 2013 settings.php

Are these permissions after copying the folder to that directory?
I believe the permissions need to be changed to apache:nagios - can you verify the permissions on sub folders as well too?
