Unable to rename file nagios.log TO ...03-05-2012-14.log

[malgashe120]

Hello,

I am a problem in "Current Event Log" of Nagios Core:

Error: Unable to rename file '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log' to '/usr/local/nagios/var/archives/nagios-03-05-2012-14.log': Permission denied

and sometimes, also:

Error: Unable to rename file '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.debug' to '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.debug.old': No such file or directory

Even if

-rw-rw-rw- 1 nagios nagios 3590646 Mar 5 14:27 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
drw-rw-rw- 2 nagios nagios 49152 Jan 10 13:00 /usr/local/nagios/var/archives
and
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 472 Mar 5 14:45 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.debug

Help me please.

You need executable permissions on your directory. Try this:

Code: Select all

# chmod ug+x /usr/local/nagios/var/archives

I am having a similar issue. The following error is showing in nagios.log:

Error: Unable to rename file '/var/log/nagios/nagios.debug' to '/var/log/nagios/nagios.debug.old': No such file or directory

The permissions on the 2 debug files are:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 2309 Sep 8 23:39 nagios.debug
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 1000050 Sep 8 23:39 nagios.debug.old

I am running running nagios v3.5.1-1 on RHEL 6.7.
