Hi guys,

I'm having problem to write CCM configuration to physical file. Receive below error,

2-7-2013 5-08-55 PM.png

What I have done,
1. /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_config_perms
2. NagiosXI-FixPerms.sh
3. Apply Configuration completed but no change.
4. Refer to NagiosQL Doc but apparently it is not properly updated. I'm afraid that it will get things worse than before.
http://www.nagiosql.org/documentation.html#Permissions
5. reconfigure_nagios.sh success but no changes as well.

As you can see from hosts and services folders, it didn't get updated for some time. Please help.

Just to confirm it is not already a known issue, can you run the following again, and make sure to restart Apache and Nagios?:

Code: Select all

chmod -R 775 /usr/local/nagios/etc

Code: Select all

service apache restart

service nagios restart

I have done the following,

The result still the same,

I think this problem occur after I use 'Apply Configuration' rather than this 'Write, Check and Restart' tool.

The permissions are failing on files in the following two directories:

/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts
/usr/local/nagios/etc/services

Make sure those directories, and all files in them are owned apache:nagios.

Hi,

drwsrwsr-x. 2 apache nagios   4096 Jan 17 15:41 services

In hosts folder,

Code: Select all

In services folder,

What is wrong here? Problem not solve. Please help.

Can you access the Admin->Check File Permissions page and post a screenshot from it?

Also, can you post the output from :

Code: Select all

sestatus

Posted: **Fri Feb 08, 2013 12:01 pm**

Config Scripts
The permissions on the Nagios XI configuration scripts appear to be okay.

Config Files
The permissions on the Nagios Core configuration files to be okay.

# sestatus

Possible to remote my system?
