[Nagios-devel] Nagios fails on empty config file

Post by Guest »

Hi,

this is a forward from the Debian BTS, http://bugs.debian.org/354007.

If Nagios 2 encounters an empty config file, it exits with "invalid
argument":

|Reading configuration data...
|
|Error: Cannot open config file '/etc/nagios-plugins/config/imap.cfg' for
|reading: Invalid argument
|
|***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...
|
| Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
| directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
| version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
| may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
| the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
| 'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
|
|* errors in config!
| failed!
|invoke-rc.d: initscript nagios2, action "start" failed.
|root@debian:/etc/nagios-plugins/config#

This has been verified to be still present in nagios 2.5.

Greetings
Marc
