Hello Everyone,

I am trying to configure Nagios3 with NConf but Im having this error (see attached) during NConf 1.3-0-0 installation. I know I should have posted this on NConf forum but my registration was not yet been approved by the admins for 3 days now. Maybe some of you guys encountered the same issue during your Nagios-NConf configuration. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you for trying the other forum first. This looks like permission problems. . . . What does the error log look like:

Code: Select all

tail -25 /var/log/httpd/error_log
Alternatively, have you tried nagioql instead of nconf?

Thanks abrist. I tried executing the code on the terminal but I got this in return.

tail -25 /var/log/httpd/error_log
cannot open '/var/log/httpd/error_log' for reading: No such file or directory

Havent tried nagioql yet but i'll look into it.

Thank You,

Arnel

Depending on the distro, it could be somewhere else. . .
How about:

Code: Select all

tail -25 /var/log/apache2/error.log
Or:

Code: Select all

tail -25 /var/log/httpd-error.log

Code: Select all

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/phpmyadmin
These errors could very well be symptomatic of permission issues. What are the permissions for:

Code: Select all

ls -lad /var/www

Hmmm. You are missing a number of necessary files/folders. Where did you expand the nconf directory to?
Additionally, once expanded, you need to set the permissions on a numebr of folders. See their documentation:

http://www.nconf.org/dokuwiki/doku.php? ... stallation
2. Set permissions

Make sure the following directories are writable to your webserver user.

You can change permissions on the console or via FTP client (CHMOD)

./config
./output
./static_cfg
./temp
