Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I'm sure I've seen this before, but I can't remember how to fix it. I'm getting this error when I apply changes with reconfigure_nagios.sh

What permissions am I supposed to change?

Hello, @kendallchenoweth.
Please run the following command to reset the config permissions. That should fix that for you.
