Well, the saga continues to unfold...

I uninstalled version 2012 and installed the new 2014, now I am getting this error message when trying to run the "Verify" in CCM:

Cannot find the Nagios binary or no rights for execution!

You shouldn't have to uninstall before upgrading. Did swilkerson tell you to do that in a PM? If so he might know something I don't (and he proves this quite frequently) but generally an upgrade is done in-place.

Can you run the following and post the output?

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios

I tried the in place upgrade and it crapped all over itself.

here is the output:

[root@dennagxis1 scripts]# ls -l /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
-rwxrwxr-- 1 nagios nagios 668832 May 16 10:07 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios

I shotgunned the permissions for nagios and made it 777.

Everything is working now it appears.

Ran the Monitoring Wizard and the configuration took right away.

[tmcdonald]

If you mean the binary of nagios itself that should be fine. If you are chmod 777'ing every file under .../nagios/ and .../nagiosxi/ however, I would caution against that. It may work but doesn't earn you any security points.

[rickwilson7425]

Just the binary itself.

Great to hear. Should we lock this thread up, or do you have any other related problems?

wrap it up and thanks a lot for your help
