Unable to install plugins. Getting permissions error

Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2015 8:30 am
by Atria
I am trying to install a few plugins and a few have installed without error, but have a few failing with the error message Plugin could not be installed - directory permissions may be incorrect. I checked the permissions on /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ and get the following

ls -l /usr/local/nagios

What are the names of the plugins that you are trying to install?
Can you run the following and post the results?

Code: Select all

grep nag /etc/passwd
grep nag /etc/group
chage -l nagios
Run the following tail command while you upload the plugin and post the output.

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Also the plugins I'm having issue with are check_snmp_load.pl, check_cisco_ucs, and check_ucs.

Do they have any special characters in the names or are the exact file names the same as what you posted?

There error for check_snmp_load.pl is because you already have it and it's owned by root.root. You can remove the file or chown apache.apache /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_load.pl and try it again.


What is the output of this command?

Code: Select all

sestatus

Are you having permission issues with installing any other plugins? In regards to the "check_snmp_load.pl" plugin - you already have it installed and it is not group writable, so I assume this is why the install is failing.

Code: Select all

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 22839 Aug 21 14:16 check_snmp_load.pl

No apparently I'm not. I guess someone else had installed the ucs plugin and I just found it in the list. Thanks for your help.

Are we all right to mark this thread resolved and lock it?
