Waiting for configuration verification - forever

[iroy]

I make changes to my nagios configuration for monitoring a remote nagios server.

STEP 1.
ADDRESS: 192.168.1.48
URL: http://192.168.1.48:4321/nagiosxi/

STEP 2.
ADDRESS: 192.168.1.48
HOST NAME: node-0.attlocal.net
URL: http://192.168.1.48:4321/nagiosxi/
USERNAME: nagiosadmin
PASSWORD:

NAGIOS XI SERVER METRICS
Selected: Nagios XI Web Interface, Monitoring Daemons, Monitoring Jobs

SEND ALERT NOTIFICATIONS TO: MYSELF


Finally after hitting "Apply" getting - "Waiting for configuration verification" forever; seems to go into a never ending loop

Can you run the following in an ssh session on your Nagios XI host.

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log

Then go into XI and Apply Configuration.

What output is produced in the SSH session?

Thanks so much for trying to help.

Output of "tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log" & other commands like "netstat -tulnp | grep 80", "nmap localhost" is below.

Looks like the applyconfig is failing, possibly due to the localhost resolution.

Can you post your /etc/hosts file, and also a screenshot of your Admin -> System Settings page?

[iroy]

Attaching Admin -> System Settings

root@vps-cl0:/home/vps# more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost vps-cl0
127.0.1.1 vps-cl0

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

[rkennedy]

The issue is it's trying to access localhost on port 80, not 4321. Take a look at the file /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php.

Change -

Code: Select all

$cfg['port_number'] = false;

to

Code: Select all

$cfg['port_number'] = 4321;

Does it work now?

[iroy]

Thanks rkennedy; it worked like a charm.

THANKS LOTS.
