nsclient ignoring changes from .ini files

i’m kinda new to this and this is driving me crazy. every time i change something in the nsclient file, its just ignored. when i re-installing the software all the settings from before come back and i have no idea what i’m doing wrong here. when i install nsclient i choose to use the ini file and it says its going to use/make nsclient.ini
Could anyone explain to me whats going on please?
I can send my config but that has no point. changing it does nothing :/
Ver: NSCP-0.4.2.114-Win32

I assume you are attempting to change the file 'nsclient.ini?' If so, how are you opening the file for modification? It is possible that you don't have write permissions in your 'Program Files' directory and need to save the file on your desktop before you can move it into the NSCLIENT folder (over-writing the old nsclient.ini).
Edit: You will also need to stop and start NSClient before it takes the changes. To do so, please run the following commands in a command shell with admin privileges:
Code: Select all
C:\Windows\system32>net stop nscp
C:\Windows\system32>net start nscp

I know full permmision on the file. and when i test check_cpu localy (with cmd). it workes. When i empty the nsclient.ini. it still works (same with the nsclient.ini in appdata). Is there any file that i can post that might be of help to this? Like the boot.ini.

Please post nsclient.log - this should be located in the root of your NSClient folder.

What changes and how do you know it's being ignored?

Why are you reinstalling? It's not uncommon for programs to NOT overwrite prior configs upon reinstallation.

When i run
I see that my allowed host is 192.168.1.50. But when I change the IP it does not change when I run it again. Also deleting/replacing the .ini in both exe-dir and appdata. does not change a thing. I've re-installed windows several times just to make sure its not that.
I just have no idea where the program gets its config from other then the main .ini

I really appreciate the help!

You may want to post on the developer of nsclient++'s forums, this is definitely a nsclient++ problem.

The one thing I notice is that it's still not clear if you're restarting your service after making changes to the ini or not. Your debug logs above are from the 27th but the failure messages are from the 30th. You must restart nsclient++ for it to read config file changes. If you're doing a full reinstall of the software that would *probably* restart the service also, but not certainly. It's possible for the software to maintain memory state if the developer didn't remove it in the uninstaller.

Do you have an nsclient.ini AND a nsc.ini file in the same location?
Is there a boot.ini file in the same location? If so, can you post the contents here in a code block please.

Just to make sure. i restart with
Reinstalling the software (and deleting all files) does not help..... The old config is still used. Even setting a IP and password in the installation wizard does not change the nsconfig.ini it creates. And no. I have no nsc.ini, just nsclient.ini
Here is my boot.ini. I have tried manual paths but with no noticeable changes
Code: Select all
[settings]
1=ini://${exe-path}/nsclient.ini
[main]
write=ini://${exe-path}/nsclient.ini
I did find this. but it does not seem to make any changes
