Subject: [Nagios-users] Problems Starting Nagios
Hi All!. Im having problems configuring Nagios 2.7, i have all the .cfg
files ready to get started but when i try to
initialize the nagios process i get this error message: "Error: Could not
create external command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'.
as named pipe: (13) -> Permission denied. If this file already exists and
you are sure that another copy of Nagios is not running, you should
delete this file."
Any ideas? the nagios.cmd is supposed to be created automatically but that
isn´t happening.
The error indicates that the user you've configured nagios to run as, usually
nagios, does not have permission to write to the directory you've configured to
hold the external command file (/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/). You'll need to --
- verify the directory you've specified exists and is owned by the nagios user
- the nagios user can create files within that directory
- if the file exists and isn't owned by the nagios user, stop nagios, remove
it, restart nagios.
- if the file exists and nagios isn't running, remove it then restart nagios
