It might be a little more work now, but my advice is do a standard Nagios 3 install (mostly it goes under /usr/local/nagios) then copy your Nagios 2 configs in to it. Running Nagios in the non-standard locations used in some rpms and other repositiories can make installing various add-ons for Nagios a real head-ache. You may need to be a bit careful about how the Nagios install updates anything which is likely to be common to both, for example the apache configs and /etc/init.d scripts. (take a good backup). When I recently upgraded from 2.6 to 3, I installed 3 on a new server altogether and migrated the monitoring over bit by bit. It took a while, but I wanted to make sure I undid all the mistakes I'd made when I was learning Nagios on 2.6 (yes I had installed from rpms too). hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
