Nagios Support Forum

Dear All,

I've just installed Nagios core and when i issue the command to verify the main configuration file below error is displaying. If there is any issue with any of the configuration files usually it should give error on specific config file. With this error i'm not able to find what is the exact issue. Main config file permissions are given below. Need your suggestions to overcome this error.

-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 43774 /opt/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

This is a shot in the dark (and shouldn't be necessary), but can we add execute permissions to the nagios.cfg. We have seen some situations where it made a difference. Also, what OS/OS version are you running?

Thanks for reply scottwilkerson. I tried this option without any success. I installed nagios 3.3.1 in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 OS on SPARC Hardware. The strange point here is i already tried to install the same of nagios in test Solaris server which is running x86 version of OS where i did not face any issues.
