Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

Im an internship in the company, they asked to install nagios. They already had an version, but it came out in 2010, so we agreed that i had should first get an new version. So i deleted the old stuff, and following the guide to install the new version ( 4.0 ). But at certain point the guide ask me to do this:

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

But when i do that i get this message:
apache2: Syntax error on line 234 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios3.conf: No such file or directory

The nagios3.conf is the file of the old system... even deleted that one now. But how to tell him he has to go the nagios.conf

Hope you guys understand my question.

Thanks in advance,

Arjan

So i deleted the old stuff

Are you trying to fully compile nagios core 4.0 on an old nagios server that is half uninstalled? This is not a very good idea, you should have upgraded from the old version and not tried to remove it. Did you follow a specific guide for uninstalling, if so link it please. At this point it may be faster to install core on a freshly provisioned system. If this is not a possibility we can try to help you through this thread.

Yes :p..
I followed this guide http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... buntu.html

Would be nice if you can help me through this thread. I think im very close, just need to restart apache and the last few other things..

And also getting this error : Can't open /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions after i want to start it :p

yep. The init script for debian derivatives is b-ro-ken! There are a few different work arounds for the time being, see the following thread:

Alright, thnx. And how to restart apache ?

I know, but that still didnt worked out. Like ive written few posts before.

Maybe its better to start all over? And first delete all the files in a good way?

Arjan,
Please check if there is a nagios.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d/

edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and change the line with nagios3.conf and add nagios.conf (if it exists in /etc/apache2/conf.d/).

Thanks rhassing, I would concur that between those places you should find a reference to the old install that needs to be removed!
