Nagios Support Forum

Hi,


We are trying to upgrade to Nagios XI 2014R1.0 from Nagios XI 2012R2.8c, however we have ended up with error message "make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/nagioscore/nagios-4.0.5'
Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.

After this when we tried to restart the nagios service it failed to start and ended up with error message to check the confihegurations. We have now restored the Nagios XI using the backup and verified the config files with No warning or Error messages. We have tried the upgrade again but ended up with the same error message. I have attached the install log for your reference, please suggest.

We have done some testing on our side and understood that the error comes up after nagios core is upgraded. Nagios service is being restarted after the core upgrade as per the script and we get this message just after the command is executed.

When we run the verify after upgrade we get the below output.

Looks like your nagios.cfg has some invalid definitions or another . Could you post the nagios.cfg please?

Attached the Nagios.cfg file.

First of all, if you have not updated mod_gearman for core 4, you should comment out the line: And stop the gearman services: Now run a verify and post the output:

As specified we have done but still the service is failing to start.

[root@xxxx etc]# service gearmand status
gearmand is stopped
[root@xxx etc]# service mod_gearman_worker status
mod_gearman_worker is not running
[root@xxx etc]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
