Problem during oreon setup

[Thoorleif]

Hello :)

This is the first time i am setting up Oreon. We are running Red Hat, RHEL3 server with Apache2, Nagios 2.x, PHP 5.x, and mySQL 4.x, this software is installed under /usr/local/<correct folder>.

First question:
What could be the problem when i get this error message?
Component Status
Configuration file
Warning: fopen(../oreon.conf.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/local/oreon/www/install/setup.php on line 728 CRITICAL
oreon.conf.php Can't open file
It ask for the file oreon.conf.php but that file dosent eaven exist. Only file I can find is installoreon.conf.php

Second question:
So when i install Oreon should i first create a folder called oreon like this /usr/local/oreon or could i just unpack the tar.gz anywhere and run install.sh and it copy the needed files into /usr/local/oreon?

Third question:
Becuse Apache 2 is installed by compiling it its config file is located at /usr/local/apache/conf/apache.conf not at /etc/httpd/conf or /etc/httpd/conf.d can i just copy the "directory instructions" from oreon.conf and put em in the correct apache.conf file?

Is there anyone who made a more comprehensive install instruction? In that case i would be really greatful :D

your apache user don't have right to write in /usr/local/oreon/www/

[LoPo]

I'm having the same issue with oreon.conf.php.

I searched my machine and the file doesn't exist. I checked the apache users rights to the /oreon/www/ and it has write permissions.

**EDIT I should clarify, I get the error on Step 9. - Creating Database. "Configuraion file status= critical

oreon.conf.php status=can't open file.

[wistof]

oreon.conf.php is created during step 9

[LoPo]

Not sure what to do then...

the apache user and group that the apache user belongs to both have read/write/execute permissions to the /www/ folder.

Suggestions?

[wistof]

PHP5 ?

[LoPo]

PHP 4.something

I'm a nix n00b. I created a phpinfo() .php file, but I didn't see anything for version info. I tried phpversion() also, no dice.


Are you suggesting to install PHP5?


Thanks,
John

[LoPo]

Ok, I'm an idiot, it was right in the top title:
PHP Version 4.3.9

[LoPo]

I granted Owner,group, and others all read/write/execute permissions for testing to see if it resolved my problem. No go.

Suggestions?

[sgrynd]

Lopo can you do a ls -l of your oreon dir and post it?

[LoPo]

[root@centos1 ~]# ls -l /usr/local/oreon/
total 48
drwxrwxr-x 5 apache apache 4096 May 5 12:00 filesGeneration
drwxrwxr-x 5 apache apache 4096 May 5 12:00 filesUpload
drwxrwxr-x 7 apache apache 4096 May 5 12:00 GPL_LIB
drwxrwxr-x 2 apache apache 4096 May 5 12:00 log
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 4096 May 5 12:00 rrd
drwxrwxr-x 11 apache apache 4096 May 16 16:26 www


I've also included two screen shots of steps 4 & 9. Step 4 says everything is good to go and in step 9 it states the failure.

Thanks.

[sgrynd]

Is there a oreon.conf.php file in the www directory?

[LoPo]

Nope.

[sgrynd]

You could try to blow it wide open chmod 777 on the dir and see if that works or have you tried that?

[LoPo]

Tried that too. :(


I confused.

If it creates/writes this file during step 9 and fails, why is it confirming that the location is 'OK' in step 4??

[sgrynd]

Very strange indeed, does the install stop at that point? or does it continue on? I can't remember anymore. If it creates the database and all then you can manualy create the file.

[LoPo]

Thanks.

No workie still.

What's funny is I can alter the file with the appropriate credentials and if I hit /oreon/index.php I can get a DB Connection: Permissions error, but yet I can't get past this issue during step 9.

I receive a blank white page on index.php or if I login via login.php.

The database is being created, but it seems this file isn't being written to via the setup. I checked httpd is running as user: apache and group:apache. Both of which have read/write/exec permissions to the www directory within the oreon installation.

[sgrynd]

Check your error.log file from apache and see what errors it is throwing when it tries to bring up index.php. I am thinking a php package might be missing.

[wistof]

try with this one ;

[LoPo]

Thanks wistof.

When I use the attached setup.php and I get to step5 - PEAR extensions, 90% of the show failed. If I use the original, it shows a status of 'ok'

[LoPo]

I was able to bypass the check by changing $return_false = 1 to a 0.

Still hit the same problem on step 9. This time it displayed the entire file path.

:cry:

:?

$pear_path = $conf_installoreon['pear_dir'];

if (file_exists($pear_path. '/'.$module["path"])) {
echo '<span class="go">OK</font>';
} else {
echo '<span class="stop">Failed</font>';
$msg ="Need " . $module["name"] . "-" . $module["version"];
$return_false = 1;
}

strange... could you check $conf_installoreon['pear_dir'] in www/install/installoreon.conf.php ?

[soumna]

How was this problem resolved. I am also getting stuck after step 9. All permissions are supposed to be what they are

[LoPo]

I never resolved the issue. This project was backburnered for the time being while I get our Citrix PS 4.0 Farm in place.

[soumna]

i have been using oreon-1.23 for more than 6 months with nagios 1.2 Just wanted to try out the newer version so that it is compatible with nagios 2.4.. Hope someone has found a solution to this yet......

[soumna]

My problem was solved when i did a reinstallation of my operating system (white box 4). Guess some packages were missing which were causing these problems.Hope this helps.........

[wistof]
