Hi,
I have nagios installed and working great on CentOS 6. My Nagios version is 3.5.1
I was wondering how i can update to the newest version. Do i have to do it in certain steps or can i just update straight from 3.5.1.
Also how can i do this without losing my current configs?
I am also a linux/nagios beginner so any help would be appreciated
Regards
Will

Yep, you can do it safely, all you would essentially be doing is re-compiling Core:

I would of course make backups of your configurations, or any data you feel relevant.

Hi,
I have successfully resolved my issue.
The internal server error issue i was having was due to SELinux.
I disabled that using the following command
I then encountered an issue that where nagios didnt have permissions for the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/ directory.
I rectified this using the following commands
Code: Select all
chown nagios:nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
chown nagios:nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
Thank you for your help thus far
Regards
Will
