NCPA - LXC Container - Fails to start

Post by flowmj »

I am triying to get NCPA listener running in a Centos 7 LXC (container running in Proxmox VE), I installed NCPA via repo. but after installing and configuring, NCPA is failing to start:

ncpa_listener.service - LSB: This manages the NCPA Listener service

I have successfully installed this latest NCPA version on another Centos 7 physical machine and VM without issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you describe in details how you installed "Centos 7 LXC" in "Proxmox VE"? We will try to recreate the issue in-house.

Meanwhile, I would recommend that you report the issue you are having with NCPA here: https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/ncpa/issues
Our developers will be looking into it as soon as they can.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response!

For Centos 7 LXC, I ssh'd into a proxmox node and downloaded the Centos 7 image:

#pveam download local centos-7-default_20161207_amd64.tar.xz

After that, Using the GUI I created a new container using that image. After the container was brought up, I installed openssh-server and ran yum update.

I will also post this to the Github page.

Did you have anything else to add or did you want to lock this up and follow the github issue?
