Nagios Support Forum

I ran into a weird issue this morning, one I have never encountered. When I log into the web interface I get Nagios Core Not running. I checked the services, see the output below.

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

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

But when I try to restart the service I get this.

:/tmp/nagios-4.3.1# service nagios restart
Failed to restart nagios.service: Unit nagios.service not found.

cd /root/nagios
bash: cd: /root/nagios: No such file or directory

I have installed Nagios numerous times and have never had this issue. I am running this installation on Ubuntu 16.10. Any help with this weird issue would be greatly appreciated.

Never Mind I figured out my own mistake. Something stupid I over looked.

I fixed it by doing /etc/init.d/nagios start.

service nagios start

No problem. I'll lock this up!
