Can't start nagios if apache is in custom location

[vinothsethuram]

If I execute above command, I am getting following line in the console

cp: omitting directory ‘/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf’

Note: My apache is in custom location.. /apps/apache-http/bin

A directory huh? What is the output of:

Code: Select all

ls -la /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf
cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf

This really does not seem right, it is at least VERY far from default/standard. What is in the httpd file?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf/httpd.conf

I have no idea if apache can handle the vhost conf as a directory. Do you have other vhost files located at:

Code: Select all

ls -laR /apps/apache-http/

ls -laR /apps/apache-http/

vinoth@velocitylinux:~$ sudo ls -laR /apps/apache-http/
ls: cannot access /apps/apache-http/: No such file or directory

[abrist]

Note: My apache is in custom location.. /apps/apache-http/bin

vinoth@velocitylinux:~$ sudo ls -laR /apps/apache-http/
ls: cannot access /apps/apache-http/: No such file or directory

Well, where is it?

[vinothsethuram]

ls -laR /apps/apache-httpd/ listing more than 1000 lines..

[slansing]

Okay:

ls: cannot access /apps/apache-http/: No such file or directory

This indicates you can't access the directory, yet you said it is outputting over 1000 files in that directory? How can that be? We need solid answers so we can work towards a solution with you.

Edit: difference in pathing.
