waiting for configuration verification...... never ends.

Hi,

It seems that there was a nagios account created, but no home directory created for it, even the home dir path was shown in /etc/passwd. So I followed all your commands.

I just ran again "monitoring wizard" for monitoring a remote windows 7 desktop. After I applied it, it gave me the error right away:
Backend login to the Core Config Manager failed.

Follow the steps in the following section of the FAQ:
http://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.ph ... n_Problems
Post the files reconfig.txt and cmd.txt in code wraps.

reconfig.txt

It has been more than 1 hour since running tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log &> cmd.txt, but the output processs has not been completed yet. Is it normal?

[scottwilkerson]

Is it normal?

No, but it is quite possible if your cons weren't running properly and you applied configuration a bunch of times. these would stack up and have to run sequentially until they are all done..

[yjchennagios]

cmd.txt

Here is the cmd.txt file.

[slansing]

Can you share the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

service crond status

tail -20 /var/log/cron

The cron log looks fine. Run the following commands and see if this is going to make a difference:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
./reset_config_perms

Have you tried increasing the "max_execution_time" and "memory_limit" values in the "/etc/php.ini" file? You can increase the limits, according to your available resources, and restart apache:

Code: Select all

service httpd restart

[yjchennagios]

I just input the commands you provided.

Yes, I had increased the value of max_execute and memory limit based on the link before I post the question 2 days ago.

What should I do next?
