Nagios Upgrade issues

[Bojan Lackanovic]

I have just upgrade Nagios from version 3.2.3 to version 3.4.1.

I have two question.

1) Version confusion

On main nagios webpage showed
Nagios® Core™
Version 3.4.1
May 11, 2012
Check for updates

but if i do nagios -v command i got output:

Nagios Core 3.2.3

2) Question

How i can relocate cgi.cfg file to new location, to keep Nagios service stable.
After upgrade i relocate all configuration files, but i have problem cgi.cfg.

[scottwilkerson]

This sounds like the CGI's got updated but nagios did not...

Had you moved the nagios binary on our server from the default location? Did you have errors compiling?

[Bojan Lackanovic]

Hm, probably i didn't complete upgrade.

During "upgrade" all my new configuration files created to /usr/local/nagios/etc/config

I moved old config files from old location /etc/nagios/ to new /usr/local/nagios/etc/config.

Only cgi files and nagios.cfg didn't relocated. I tried but unsucessfully.

First problem was more nagios processes, but i solve this.


Please help me to finish upgrade!


Thank you very much!

[Bojan Lackanovic]

Probably during upgrade/install i didn't replace binaryfiles /usr/bin/nagios.
Please confirm!? Can you provide upgrade link with detail procedure? My previous version was 3.2.3! Hm, was...! I didn't finish complete procedure!!!

I did follow this procedure http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/upgrading.html

make all


Install updated binaries, documentation, and web web interface. Your existing configuration files will not be overwritten by this step.

CASE CLOSED!!!

1) I updated nagios.cfg file for apache with:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin" - cgi files version 3.4.1

2) Binary files are OK.

I have checked nagios service file (init.d) for binary files

prefix=/usr/local/nagios
exec_prefix=${prefix}
NagiosBin=${exec_prefix}/bin/nagios


I swith to this directory, do ./nagios and it is resulted with:

agios Core 3.4.1

Earlier i do nagios - v from root but earlier version was installed from rmp and resulted with 3.2.3, but i am using 3.4.1 binary and html files.

Thank you very much.
