Nagios Support Forum

receiving thei error
DB Connect Error [nagiosxi]: Database connection failed DB Connect Error [nagiosxi]: Database connection failed
When trying to connect to nagiosxi
I have retarted nagios httpd and mysql and postgres no luck

df -h shows
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev/shm full

so I tried another article
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... nect+Error
on the forum that said to run the following

cp /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf to /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf

no luck
I am one version behind right now but cant give the specific nagiosxi can t get into gui

This is only a partial output, it should look like I would guess your disk is full

df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
49G 22G 25G 47% /
/dev/sda1 145M 20M 118M 15% /boot
tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev/shm
/root/rhel-server-5.7-x86_64-dvd.iso
3.6G 3.6G 0 100% /mnt/cdrom

doesn't look like the root partition is full, lets check the inodes If these aren't full lets try to restart postgresql

df -i
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on

service postgresql restart
