I'm following the document on how to install the Nagios client on macOS (in this case, the version is 10.12.3). I have XCode with command Line Tools installed. I tried running the bash script for fullinstall like it instructs both using sudo preceding the command and sudo -i. This is what I get.

Code: Select all

Current step is 0-usersgroups
./fullinstall: line 36: ./0-usersgroups: Permission denied
0-usersgroups appears to have already completed successfully.  Moving on to the next step.
Current step is 1-services
./fullinstall: line 36: ./1-services: Permission denied
1-services appears to have already completed successfully.  Moving on to the next step.
Current step is A-subcomponents
./fullinstall: line 36: ./A-subcomponents: Permission denied
A-subcomponents appears to have already completed successfully.  Moving on to the next step.

If you experience any problems, please attach the file logs-all-steps-1486410377.tar.gz that was just created to any support requests.

Permissions issues tell me these scripts didn't run. What are the permissions supposed to be so I can double-check them? What else could be causing such problems?
The log file it mentions is attached.

Thank you!

Two things come to mind with this issue -

1. Are the files executable? Please show us the full output of ls -la ran from that folder.
2. I don't have a Mac here to test with, but what happens if you append sudo to line 36 like this? I'm wondering if this will affect it.

Code: Select all

	sudo ./"$step" | tee -a "log/$step.log"

They are bash scripts, so they're executable.

I had another look at the scripts and it turns out that the properties on the scripts changed upon extracting them from the tar.gz file. I'm not sure how.
I downloaded the client install again. It seems to work.

Thank you!

Great to hear that's all it was! Are we good to mark this thread resolved then, or do you have further questions about the agent?

Go ahead and resolve this. Thanks again!
