Nagios Support Forum

Thanks , have enable the root, but i cant see log in to the console with root user, i didnt see the root user from the list.


Is there something i will need to do?


Regards.

Installation and configuration of Nagios assumes a rudimentary knowledge of being able to log in, edit files, and issue basic systems configuration commands on a Unix server. It sounds as though your questions are more Unix related, and not Nagios, specifically. Helping you through Nagios forum postings on basic Unix operations may not be the best way for you to learn.

I think one of the moderators should step in here as to what would be the appropriate way to help you here, or if you should try to get some basic Unix skills from some other source.

Hi All,

I got the issue resovled after I used this below comand on the file I wanted to edit.

Sudo gedit the file name.

With this command I could edit my config file.

@Eloyd, am trying to reload my nagios, but I could not see the file. I use the below command.

/et/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload.

I am getting file or directory is not existing. Please do u knw where the file could be, or what other ways I can restart the nagios.


I await your response.

Regards.

I hope it was a typo, but it should be /etc not /et

/et/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload

That is a typo, you are missing the "c" in "etc":
And I am tending to agree with eloyd here - Nagios takes a certain familiarity and comfort with both Linux and the command line. If you are not comfortable with either I would suggest grabbing a Linux book that explains the fundamentals, or just read around various tutorials online.

I split the post as the original issue was resolved. The "new" thread is here:
