Nagios XI 2024 File Permissions
Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2025 10:36 am
Hi
We recently did a fresh install of Nagios XI (2024R1.3.4) on a new VM (nothing else installed on this VM) and have since been having no end of problems which seem related to file permissions.
I've run the script 'reset_config_perms.sh' but that hasn't made any difference.
Does anyone know how I can set all file permissions to the required values?
Some examples of errors in various log files shown below.
Thanks
