Hello everybody,

I just finished installing Nagios Core 4.2.4 on Centos 7 to follow this process:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... entos7.pdf

When i check my configuration no errors are detected..the nagios service is correctly launching and i'm connected on the web interface.

But when i switch tab i have this error :

When i check nagios.log i see this error:
Error: Unable to create temp file '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.tmpxxxx' for writing status data : Permission denied

I suspect a permission error..

Thanks a lot

Can you compare your output of ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/ to mine? I'm running 4.2.2 on Debian, but that shouldn't matter if you're compiling from source using our instructions (well, the instructions are different, but the final product should be similar)

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/
total 96
drwxrwsr-x 5 nagios nagios  4096 Jan 12 13:18 .

Hi dwhitfield,

Thanks for your reply !
This is a result of my ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var
total 2176
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root   root       112 12 janv. 11:15 .
drwxr-xr-x. 9 root   root        94 10 janv. 17:25 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 nagios nagios      34 12 janv. 11:15 nagios.configtest
-rw-r--r--. 1 nagios nagios       5 12 janv. 11:15 nagios.lock
-rw-------. 1 nagios nagios 2218669 13 janv. 09:08 nagios.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 nagios nagios       0 12 janv. 11:15 retention.dat
drwxrwsr-x. 2 nagios nagcmd      41 12 janv. 11:15 rw
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root   root        26 10 janv. 17:29 spool

I will be changed "rw,spool, .. and ." acces rights for nagios:nagios.
