1. Linux Distribution and version? CentOS 5.5 final
2. 32 or 64bit? 32
3. VMware Image or Manual Install of XI? Manual Install
4. Are there specials configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? Are you using a proxy? Are you using SSL? No/No/No

I'm trying to upload a MIB to our Nagios install and I get the error
MIB could not be installed - directory permissions may be incorrect.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

We're on Nagios XI 2011R2.1

Can you check the file permissions in /usr/share/snmp/mibs

Run

Code: Select all

chown root:nagios /usr/share/snmp/mibs
chmod g+w /usr/share/snmp/mibs
then it should upload
