Nagios Support Forum

Good afternoon, I write this message because I can not find a solution to the problem.

I have Nagios installed on an Ubuntu Server 16.04.5 server and every time I restart the server I have to manually start the service with the following command:

Service nagios start

I want to put the following command to automatically start each reboot:

sudo update-rc.d nagios defaults

But I get the following error:

insserv: script nagios is not an executable regular file, skipped!

Any solution ?

The official documentation for installing on Ubuntu has a discrete step for configuring the service/daemon files:
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... tml#Ubuntu

What process did you use to install Nagios Core? If you followed the official documentation and are still having this problem, there's likely a bug report that needs to be made:
https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/issues

Thanks, @mcapra!
@UndMe, Please let us know whether you used the above-mentioned tutorial to install the Core so that I can try to replicate your issue in the lab.

Thank you very much for the answer, I installed it with another guide and something would be wrong.
I have reinstalled with the official guide of nagios that you have left me in the link and it works perfectly for me.

Thank you.
