Nagios Support Forum

I am running Nagios XI.
Linux version 2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.i686 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Dec 22 18:50:52 GMT 2011
-bash-4.1#



I get the following error message when I upload a plugin:
Plugin could not be installed - directory permissions may be incorrect.

I tried to run the script NagiosXI-FixPerms.sh with no luck. I restarted the services.

Here are the permissions in the nagios XI directory
total 1096
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1086617 Dec 14 11:01 NagiosXI-FixPerms.sh

drwxr-xr-x 4 nagios nagios 4096 Jan 12 16:00 var
-bash-4.1# pwd

what am I missing?

thanks

The plugin is installed into ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec

Run and you want libexec to look something like

The permission on that look correct:


bin etc libexec sbin share var
-bash-4.1# ls -l
total 24
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Jan 4 10:27 bin
drwsrwsr-x 7 apache nagios 4096 Jan 11 14:23 etc
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Jan 4 10:27 libexec
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Jan 4 10:25 sbin
drwxrwxr-x 12 nagios nagios 4096 Jan 4 10:26 share
drwxrwxr-x 6 nagios nagios 4096 Jan 13 09:22 var
-bash-4.1# pwd
/usr/local/nagios
-bash-4.1#

This makes me wonder if the plugin you are trying to upload already exists and is not writable. What plugin are you uploading? Does it already exist in What are the permissions on that file?

I am trying to upload nagios-plugins-1.4.15 (2).tar.gz.

You were correct about the plug-in. I tried a different one and no error.

Thanks for you help!
