Hello,

Change the ownership for the directory with the following:

Code: Select all

chmod +rwx /usr/local/nagios/var/rw

[NNC]

Still same error.

Can you run the following and report the output back here:

Code: Select all

ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/

Additionally can you send a copy of your nagios.cfg file, it is locate at:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Nagios recreates that file after each restart, so updating permissions from the system won't fix that. What are the permissions on that file?

Are external commands enabled in the main nagios.cfg file?
check_external_commands=1

Hi,
Look at the last page of this guide where you can find the correct sequence of command to submit

http://giuseppeturri.it/NAGIOS_INSTALLATION_GUIDE.pdf

Let me know

Is apache member of nagcmd group?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/group | grep nag

[Bozb]

I believe that the correct command would be:

Code: Select all

usermod -G nagios apache

and

Code: Select all

usermod -G nadcmd apache
