I upgraded to version 2009R1.1D and am still having the same issues as before. The only way I can get the hosts to delete after adding it using the Config wizard is to run the command rm -rf /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/*.cfg before I apply the configuration each time. Otherwise it still shows up each time.

Yes I am still having this problem also and have to delete the config files before I click apply. Still seems the system is not deleting them at the right point.

Okay, here is an obvious solution we should have noticed right away...
The problem is due to the nagios user not being a member of the nagios group. This was causing the cron job (which runs as the nagios user) to not have permissions to delete the files. The setuid root trick we posted the other days fails on some system - probably due to some PHP security settings.
Here's how to (hopefully) solve this problem for good..
1. Login to the machine as the root user
2. Issue the following commands at the prompt:
Code: Select all
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/*.cfg
usermod -a -G nagios nagios
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

I performed the recommended steps, and was able to add and remove several hosts correctly this time. I would really like to thank you for working on getting this resolved. I am sure it is appreciated by everyone here. Thanks again!

This is fixed in latter releases, we will release minor version updates if/when issues like this arise.
