NSTI Installation Problem

[ryan_breneman]

Hello,

I just finished installing NSTI using the install.py script. Everything went fine, got all success messages through the install process. I restarted httpd and snmptt.

When I go to the nsti web url I get the following message: Could not open Configuration-File ./etc/config.ini !

I've tried changing permissions on the config.ini file (777) and tried changing owner from root to nagios, still no go.

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ryan

Is SELinux enabled on this machine? Check /etc/selinux/config, and run the command:

Code: Select all

setenforce 0

[ryan_breneman]

No, SELinux is disabled, see config output below:

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
# SETLOCALDEFS= Check local definition changes
SETLOCALDEFS=0

I'm going to have our resident NSTI guy take a look at this when he gets in.

Ryan,

Can you check to see if there is a /usr/local/nsti/etc/config.ini?

Is there anything in that etc directory?

[ryan_breneman]

Yes, there is a config file. I've attached it to this post. In the file I removed the mysql password, but I did test the connection and I know that works. Other files in etc are backup.php and config.ini.dist.

I'd like to make sure its not some Apache problem where it is resolving the pathname improperly, in the NSTI tree:

/usr/local/nsti/include/defines/global.php

There is a variable named:

define('CONST_MAINCFG', './etc/config.ini');

change that to

define('CONST_MAINCFG', '/usr/local/nsti/etc/config.ini');

And save it, then try to access it. If this doesn't work then it is almost certainly a permissions issue.

[ryan_breneman]

That did not work. I know it accepted the config change because now the error states the full path: Could not open Configuration-File /usr/local/nsti/etc/config.ini !

I originally thought the problem was permissions related and I tried modifying permissions with no success. Originally after the install script the config file was owned by root but in trying different things to make it work I changed to the nagios user, however it didn't affect the problem. Here is the output of ls-la on /usr/local/nsti/etc:

[root@nagios etc]# ls -la
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 11 15:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 7 12:59 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2406 Dec 7 12:35 backup.php
-rwxrwxrwx 1 nagios nagios 2430 Dec 7 12:48 config.ini
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2409 Dec 7 12:35 config.ini.dist

Is the user apache runs under on this machine part of the nagios group?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/group | grep nagios

[ryan_breneman]

Here's the output of that command:

[root@nagios ~]# cat /etc/group | grep nagios
nagios500:nagios,apache
nagcmd501:nagios,apache
