Nagvis PHP error

Post by hillhealthcenter »

I get this error when I click the Default Automap button in Nagvis:

PHP error in ajax request handler: Error: (2) fopen(/usr/local/nagvis/var/__automap.dot): failed to open stream: Permission denied

I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. Should I reconfigure Nagvis?

Thanks,
Tom

Could you try to access the page once again and then post a large tail of the apache log?

Code: Select all

tail -30 /var/log/httpd/error_log

Have you upgraded nagvis? (don't upgrade as newer versions of nagvis than what shipped with XI will cause issues)

Andy,

Thanks for getting back to me.

My colleague may have attempted to upgrade Nagvis. The installed version is NagVis Version 1.5.9

Is this the proper version? How can I get this sorted?

Thanks,
Tom

1.5.9 is correct, what is the output of the following:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagvis/var/
Is it only automap that causes this? What about the other maps?

The demo maps are fine. There are no other maps.

What is the NagVis version that is shown when you go to: Home->Nagvis->Need Help->NagVis Support Information? Can you show us a screenshot of this page?

Though your other maps work fine, only the automap requires the '.dot' file. Lets try changing it's user to the actual user name not the UID:

Code: Select all

chown apache /usr/local/nagvis/var/__automap.dot
It does not seem like apache is throwing fatal errors out in it's log, so that is a good sign. If this does not work, can you post your access log too?:

Code: Select all

tail -30 /var/log/httpd/access_log
