During upgrading from 2012 to the latest version, the upgrade proces stopped with the message:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/nagioscore/nagios-4.0.7'
Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR!  Restart aborted.  Check your Nagios configuration.

I have read the FAQs about the know issues about how to approach this, but I don't get any further.
When I Write Database Configs To File I the following error:

Code: Select all

Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/Internet-diensten.cfg', starting on line 14)

Can you please post /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/Internet-diensten.cfg or at least show us line 14? It looks like you just need to provide a service description.

Looks like that service has not been assigned to a host, it was likely a ghost service who's host was removed previously but it stayed around as a flat config file. You can remove this service and re run the upgrade:

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/Internet-diensten.cfg

You could also try to apply configuration after removing it, if it does not get repopulated in '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/' then it was a ghost.

Thanks for your support.
I have remove the specific file, and applied the config. Unfortunately it ends with an error:

Code: Select all

An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to Nagios Core. Monitoring engine configuration files have been rolled back to their last known good checkpoint.

Nagios cannot start or restart with a bad configuration. You need to use the Write Config Tool to check for config errors:

CCM->Tools->Write Config Files->Write->Verify

If you find config errors, you need to fix them, then run the Write Config Tool AGAIN, as you may have more errors. Run the Write Config Tool as many times as you need to. Once, ALL of the config errors have been fixed, you can apply configuration.

Do you have any config errors now when you run the Write Config Tool?

Because of limited time had to cancel the upgrade, and rolled back the snapshot of the server. I will start a copy of this server soon to follow your advice. Thanks for your support.

Sounds good. I will be locking this post. If you run into some issues, while performing the upgrade, please, start a new thread.
