Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid

version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read

Greetings,

It looks like you may have gone a little overboard granting permissions while troubleshooting this. Typical permissions on files in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/ directory look like:

drwxrwxr-x 3 nagios nagios 4.0K Mar 20 10:43 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 87 Mar 3 12:34 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 13K Mar 14 10:28 cgi.cfg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 12K Mar 3 12:31 cgi.cfg~
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50 Mar 3 12:33 htpasswd.users
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 45K Mar 16 10:27 nagios.cfg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 44K Mar 9 15:53 nagios.cfg~
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.2K Mar 15 16:52 ndo2db.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.0K Mar 15 16:18 ndomod.cfg
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4.0K Mar 17 13:40 objects
-rw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 1.3K Mar 9 16:27 resource.cfg
-rw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 1.3K Mar 3 12:31 resource.cfg~

That said, the error you are getting is complaining about /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg. Please check the permissions of this file by running "ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/"

maybe this is a clue. when i try to open this folder with the nagios user

cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects
-su: cd: /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects: Permission denied


when i try it with the root user its work
ls -l objects
drw-rw-rw- 2 nagios nagios 4096 Mar 22 17:37 objects

Please provide the output of 'ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects' as well as a copy of /var/log/messages and /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log.

Were any changes made to the nagios.cfg file? The permissions look good so I wonder if maybe it's pointing to a different file. Please provide a copy of the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file so we can confirm.

[mfrycke]

how do i copy all text in that file?
