Hi, im new to Nagios. I have been stuck on this screen for a while. I dont get an error running Nagios, but from the web interface i get the Whoops Error: Could not read object configuration data message.

Im following a guide from a book called Learning Nagios 4. The book uses different locations instead of the default. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Verifying the configuration

Code: Select all

[nagios@localhost1 etc]$ /opt/nagios/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check

Not sure what else to check. i dont see any errors in the log either. Here is Nagios.conf and cgi.cfg hopefully some one can help me out with this.

Thanks for your help.

Can we also see the contents of:

Code: Select all

/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

And the output of the following command executed from the CLI of your Nagios Core machine:

Code: Select all

ls -al /etc/nagios

Hi, thanks for your help, we figured it out.
All we did was change Selinux to permissive rebooted the machine and it worked.

I had changed this setting before but did not reboot to test. Once i rebooted it worked fine.

Also i had an error because i was missing the Index.html fixed it with these commands

$ touch /var/www/html/index.html
$ chmod 755 /var/www/html/index.html

Thanks for your help.
