Hello everyone and thanks for looking,
I recently just finished downloading Nagios core on my ubuntu server, and am having trouble adding/editing switches. I have been following this
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... uters.html for configuration, and did everything it asked me to do. Now as i go to restart it, i get
"Error: Cannot open config file /etc/nagios3/objects/switch.cfg' for reading: No such file or directory Error processing object config files"
Anyone know how to fix this? thanks in advance for your help

Please post the output of the commands so that we can best help. Most likely if you are failing the first command, the user you are running as or the nagios user does not have permission to this directory and its files.
Code: Select all
ls -la /etc/nagios3/objects/
ls -la /etc/nagios3/
cat /etc/passwd | grep nag
