error web page Nagios

Post by zik »

Good Day ,

After success to start httpd service I enter to web page nagios he give me this message :

Code: Select all


Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

    Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
    Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 

When I did :nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Code: Select all


Total Warnings: 61
Total Errors:   0

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check

in loge nagios I find this :

Code: Select all

[1361371574] Error: Unable to create temp file for writing status data!
If you have an idea how I can fix it I will be thankful .

Many Thanks

All The Best

Sound like a permission error, check:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagios
It should be nagios:nagios. If not, try:

Code: Select all

chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios

Did you happen to run ls "/ usr / local / nagios"? It seems that all of those have spaces in-between which should not be the case.
