Nagios Support Forum

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.

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?

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!

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.

Kind regard

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.

Thanks for the update, it is valuable to the community!
