Can not start nagios 2.4 with oreon 1.3

[abc Member Find all posts View Profile Close abc]

I finished the Nagios 2.4 & Oreon 1.3RC installation, but when I try to start Nagios I got the error message:
# /etc/init.d/nagios start
Configuration file /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg not found. Exiting.

In the /etc/init.d/nagios file I found these lines:
prefix=/usr/share/nagios
exec_prefix=/var/lib/nagios
NagiosBin=/usr/sbin/nagios
NagiosCfgFile=/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
NagiosStatusFile=/var/log/nagios/status.dat
NagiosTempFile=/var/log/nagios/nagios.tmp
NagiosRetentionFile=/var/log/nagios/retention.dat
NagiosCommandFile=/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
NagiosVarDir=/var/log/nagios
NagiosRunFile=/var/run/nagios.pid
NagiosLockDir=/var/lock/subsys
NagiosLockFile=nagios
NagiosCGIDir=${exec_prefix}/sbin
NagiosUser=nagios
NagiosGroup=nagios

But during the installation I set the Nagios configuration file in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg, so what do this mean??!!..

Do I have to change these files paths to my Nagios local directory files (/usr/local/nagios/etc/) or I have to create a hard or symbolic links between these files (ex:/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg) and the Nagios file (like: /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg)??!!!

abc,

It seems you haven't configured anything using Oreon? At install time there is not config... Normal, create contact, hosts, services and generate Nagios config in oreon

I hope it helps, Zby-)

I created everything (except services because every time when I try to save it return to the same page again “refused to save”), if I debug Nagios from the Oreon web interface I got:

But it I try to telnet the server & run the debug command I got:

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.


I followed the steps:
1. install Nagios 2.4
2. install Oreon 1.3RC
3. add hosts, contacts, contact group & host group from the Oreon web interface

Do I have to do anything else???!!!... Do we have to configure anything in Nagios after Oreon installation??!!! :roll:
It seams that on my server every one of them is working separately!!!...... ops:

With Oreon, no configuration to do in Nagios.

There is a problem when Oreon generate the configuration that's why there are no config files in /usr/local/nagios/etc

Try first to find what exactly the error come from.

It seems that Oreon check twice the configuration and that there is a problem on the second check.

Maybe a bad authorization on some folders.

Check you apache log error file !

Clear your log file first (echo "" > error_log)

And try to use oreon and find what error exactly appear when you click on somet object we do not make what you expect to
