I am getting config errors, where I create new hostgroups and then add members hosts and when I apply the configuration it says unable to expand the hostgroup.
I can see the hostgroups in the web interface, so I tried to write the config files to see what is in them but a get an errors when writing the config files from the confgiguaration page menu "tools/Write Config Files/Write Monitoring Data"
I used the vmware image and converted it for the ESX system, no permissions have been modified from the original install.
What are the correct permissions?
The error being displayed:
Write hostgroups.cfg ...
Cannot open/overwrite the configuration file (check the permissions)!
Write servicegroups.cfg ...
Cannot open/overwrite the configuration file (check the permissions)!
Write hosttemplates.cfg ...
Cannot open/overwrite the configuration file (check the permissions)!
Write servicetemplates.cfg ...
Cannot open/overwrite the configuration file (check the permissions)!
