I've attached the code for the above command.

Also I installed this following instructions linked on the Nagios website.

Lets try and recreate the nagiosadmin account by running the following in a shell on the server

Code: Select all

sudo htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
Then restart the Apache and nagios processes by running

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
sudo systemctl restart nagios.service
Try that and post if it works or not.

No luck, still getting the configuration file error message.

I think the www-data account is missing from the nagios group and that is creating the permission issue.
Try running the following command and see if that fixes the permission issue for your system.

Code: Select all

sudo usermod -a -G nagios www-data
If you still have issues, take a look at the Apache's error log files in the following folder and see if you can use them to resolve the error.

Code: Select all

/var/log/apache2

Still no luck, log files don't tell me much, at least nothing that stands out to me.

At this point, I suggest going through the Source Install one step at a time to see if that fixes the issue.
