AWS - Nagios Log Server

Hello,

I set up a Nagios Log Server by following the Nagios documentation instructions. I have the EC2 Instance running in AWS correctly. I'm able to ping the public IP. The instructions say to finish the installation by going to the link <AWSIP>/nagioslogserver. There is no response when I try to access the server. Is it possible to open a ticket for this?

Did you add port 80 to the AWS security group?

Can you verify that httpd is running

Code: Select all

systemctl status httpd
also, it is important you wait about 20 minutes from launching the instance for the installation to complete

Yes I did. I'm able to ping it and I'm able to SSH into the server. It's weird that I can't get to the web interface to finish the installation. Thank you for your response!

It's been up for days. I ran the command and I get - Unit httpd.service could not be found

I tried to start the service but it asks for a password. Is there a default password on this?

This is the doc you followed?

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... -Cloud.pdf

If so, something must have now worked properly if you do not have a httpd.service, it would lead me to believe all the dependencies didn't get installed correctly

I would suggest shutting down this instance and starting a new one

You should be able to run the following without a password

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start httpd

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start httpd

Ok I ran that and I get - Failed to start httpd.service: Unit not found.

I will try creating a new instance and see what happens.

Thanks for your help! I will let you know what happens.

Hello,

I deleted the old instance and created a new one following those instructions you posted. I'm still getting the same error on the service. Is that AMI build in AWS known to be updated and good?
