Error Whoops! Error: Could not open CGI config file

[fm2ahmed]

Hi,

Can u tell me what does make distclean and make clean do?? Would this change or modify my existing checks and services? ?

This only removes objects built by gcc when building the nagios cgi's and core engine. It will not effect the binaries in place or any configurations you have done.

Hi,

Do I need to restart nagios after doing that?

you should probably stop the nagios service, compile and install, and then start nagios again.

Hi,

Will update once done.
Thanks for the advice.

Great, let us know.

Well the cgis are coded to look in certain places via the ./configure options you originally listed. Are these still using the prefix with nagios-4.0.2? Probably the easiest route would be to go back to the nagios build directory and run the following commands.

Code: Select all

make distclean; make clean
./configure
make all
make install

This will use all the normal defualts that specify that everything should be based off /usr/local/nagios/

Hi,

I was about to carry out the steps. Do i need to include "--with-command-group=nagcmd" with "./configure "??

Most likely not as I believe it is default now. But it wouldn't hurt to include it

Hi,

It worked. Thanks a million. Now all .cgi's work.
