Nagios Support Forum

I have followed the documentation found at
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Server.pdf
to move our database to a separate server. The move went well. However, now we can only making changes through the core config manager. If we try and add a new check via a configuration wizard, the config claims to be applied correctly but changes are not written to the database and the new host fails to show up.

You probably missed a step. Verify that your db users,passwords, and ips/hostnames are correct in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php.

Using copy and paste from the config.inc.php file I am able to connect to the database server just fine.
