Nagios NRPE Agent Installation Breaks Nagios Server Conf

[micatwix]

Hi,
Recently I installed the NRPE agent on the host where Nagios XI server is installed (VMWare image downloaded from Nagios).
After this change the "Apply Configuration" button in the Nagios XI Web based GUI stopped working.
I tried to check the nagios.log file, but there is nothing in there - no indication of the Nagios service restart (which should appear in the normal situation).
Please assist.

thanks !

That's odd, the nrpe agent is installed... It's just not configured to run on start up or configured at all.

Please be more specific about how you did what.

I followed the PDF guide document while installing the NRPE - http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf
I am not if this is related now, but the symptom stated right after this was done.
If I press Apply Configuration button - I see endless progress (see attached picture) and cannot see any information/errors in the logs.
Please let me know if you need any specific information.
Thanks !

Yes, on the NagiosXI server that might cause feathers to fly. Now that your server is all ruffled you may want to do an upgrade of XI, this just may tar and feather stuff into working for you.

The ./?-* commands were all done when XI was installed, I know they had different names but they did the same thing. You could have gotten away with only doing the other configuration steps.

I noticed that the 1-prereqs script installed the new PHP 5.3
After downgrading PHP back to 5.1.6 the issue was resolved.
