error mesage when starting the apache server

when installing Nagios core on Ubuntu I mean 4.x
I get this error when restarting the apache server by the command line
sudo service apache2 restart
and the error message is syntax error message on line 14 on /etc/apache.conf/conf.d/Nagios.conf and says invalid command <ifVersion > is misspelt or defined by a module not configured in the server configuration
and then looking at the Nagios.conf I could see the ifVersion to be 2.3
I don't know if this makes some sense

Hi
@ Dokuwa,
Can you please run this command:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
and post the results.
Also,run these commands and post their output:
Code: Select all
cat /etc/apache.conf/conf.d/Nagios.conf
Code: Select all
cat /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache
This directive is used to specify a file in which a cached copy of object definitions should be stored. The cache file is (re)created every time Nagios is (re)started and is used by the CGIs. It is intended to speed up config file caching in the CGIs and allow you to edit the source object config files while Nagios is running without affecting the output displayed in the CGIs.
Also to start or restart apache you need to run this command:
OR
that's why you could also be getting that error;try that.

Thanks
bash:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... onfig.html: No such file or directory
cat /etc/apache.conf/conf.d/Nagios.conf
cat: /etc/apache.conf/conf.d/Nagios.conf: No such file or directory
cat: /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache: No such file or directory
service httpd restart
httpd: unrecognized service
systemctl restart apache.service
systemctl: command not found
Is it because it is Ubuntu 12.x or it does not matter for Nagios core 4.x

@DOkuwa, Yes, I think systemctl command does not work on on Ubuntu 12.x, neither service httpd would work because you're running the Core on Ubuntu.
These two commands should work on your system:
Code: Select all
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service nagios restart
Did you use this guide to install the Core?
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... tml#Ubuntu
The error that you have says that you might have problems with a web interface. It could be that your Ubuntu 12.x is running an older version of apache that requires a different configuration. Can you access the web interface at all? Also, can you post the whole Nagios.conf file here?
Thanks

It has been sorted as I have to upgrade Ubuntu from 12.x to 14.x
and modify my /etc/hosts file to include the fully qualified name
