I am following this instructions from nagios. https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1497921073

I have successfully reached towards the end where it says to do the following commands:
chkconfig --add nagios
chkconfig --level 35 nagios on
chkconfig --add httpd
chkconfig --level 35 httpd on

Whenever I do the chkconfig --add httpd, I get "error reading information on service httpd: No such file or directory.
How do I get this to work?

Hello sartecat,

Are you sure you ran the make install-init command?

I think I did. Can I just rerun it again?

yes - it should recreate the files.

I just reentered all of the make install commands. It did not work.

@sartecat, What OS are you using? Have you installed the modules?

Code: Select all

For RHEL/CentOS users:
yum install -y wget httpd php gcc glibc glibc-common gd gd-devel make net-snmp unzip
For Ubuntu (15.10 and below) users:
sudo apt-get install wget build-essential apache2 php5 php5-gd libgd-dev unzip
For Ubuntu (16.04 and above) users:
sudo apt-get install wget build-essential apache2 php apache2-mod-php7.0 php-gd libgd-dev unzip
Also, if there's a possibility to start installation with a clean system one more again I'd highly recommend using this tutorial instead:

This tutorial is the most updated one.
