Installation failed 403

[cockraml]

Installed first time to test out the software. Script ran succesfully, but got 403 error on hitting the initial url /nagioslogserver. The umask on the server is 077. It seems to be a file permission issue which the installation script did not account for. What is the solution?


Also is selinux supposed to be disabled? The installation script looks like it tries to disable but doesn't actually happen until after reboot.

Does your system not allow you to go to http://<ip>/nagioslogserver ? or that without the /nagioslogserver it doesn't work? There was an issue with placing the redirect file in /var/www/html at one point.

Yes, it should disable selinux - when you disable it, it goes into permissive mode and it actually becomes disabled once you restart.

[cockraml]

No. The url returns a permission error 403.

I believe the issue is with file permissions in /var/www since my umask is 0077. What should the umask be on the server before the installation script is run?

[jomann]

It looks like it is the umask, normally the umask on a linux system is 022 and we don't test it on anything other than that.

I disabled selinux ahead of time and set the umask to 0022 prior to the install. It may be a good idea to put this in the installation document as a prereq requirement.

We will have that added. Did this resolve your issue?
