Backup Script Failing

[Pilly170]

Hi,

I normally use the backup document http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ing_XI.pdf.

Normally I would edit /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh and change the password. now I cant find the password in this document.

Any ideas?

We no longer keep the passwords in that script, it should be located in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php, and is imported from there for backups. This is due to many changes for the 2014 release.

and where abouts do I set my password in here? in the old script I had to do it once.

Starting on line 91 in that file is the array that holds your credentials. You will need to edit the ndoutils pass and the nagiosql pass but *only* if you have already changed them before. Usually if your XI is working this means you have not changed them.

Have you got any examples, as I changed the password to my root one, and still got the error message.

I did recieve an error at the start of the backup

"could not open input file import_XIconfig.php"

[tmcdonald]

"could not open input file import_XIconfig.php"

Was that a typo or did it really say "import_XIconfig.php"? There should be no capitals there. Also, please post the output of the following:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/import_xiconfig.php

return $str;
}
}

We did have an bug in the new backup script.

Please unzip the attached and place in /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts

Then there should be no need to edit the password.

[Pilly170]

-bash: /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh: Permission denied

its 644, owner / group is nagios

changed to 0750 and retried... works.

Excellent.
