Good morning,

I have a problem with my Nagios configuration. This is the response of service nagios status :

Code: Select all

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.
But when I'm going on the web interface, Nagios Core is not running :

The configtest command is also right :

What version of Debian are you running? How did you install nagios? What guide/document did you follow?

I am not able to recreate the issue. I installed nagios on Debian 8.

Code: Select all

root@debian:/tmp/nagios-plugins-2.1.1# uname -a
Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@debian:/tmp/nagios-plugins-2.1.1# cat /etc/*release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="8"
VERSION="8 (jessie)"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
I followed the guide below:
http://www.miloszengel.com/nagios-core- ... -x-jessie/

After this, I had to perform a few additional steps:

Code: Select all

cp /etc/init.d/skeleton /etc/init.d/nagios
Added the following lines to "/etc/init.d/nagios":

Code: Select all

DESC="Nagios"
NAME=nagios
DAEMON=/usr/local/nagios/bin/$NAME
DAEMON_ARGS="-d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg"
PIDFILE=/usr/local/nagios/var/$NAME.lock
Started nagios:

Hello, thank you for you'r response. My version of debian is :

Code: Select all

root@SRV-SUPERVISION-BT:~# uname -a
Linux SRV-SUPERVISION-BT 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
[1]+  Termine 1               uname -
I have followed this tutorial : http://djibril.developpez.com/tutoriels ... nt/#LIII-A to the third part (III) because after I need a working nagios web-interface.

If I want to follow your tutorial, how I can delete my actual installation ?

As @lmiltchev mentioned, he was able to do this fine on Debian 8. I would follow the above instructions, on a clean, minimal version of Debian 8. It's hard to say what has been done, which is why I would advise against trying to re-install over it and spin up a clean machine.

Let us know if you have further questions about the install.
