Re: [opsview-users] Can't amend group ownership for htpasswd files upon config reload

What happens if you run the command by hand as nagios?  i.e.   chgrp nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.user /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.admin   Duncs   --  Duncan Ferguson Senior Developer Opsera Limited | Unit 69 Suttons Business Park Reading | Berkshire | RG6 1AZ | UK Phone:   +44 (0) 845 057 7887 Mobile:   +44 (0) 7968 148 748 Skype:   duncan_j_ferguson     Email:   duncan.fergu...@opsera.com www.opsera.com Opsera Limited is registered in the UK under Company Number 5396532.

OK, that makes sense: # id nagios uid=499(nagios) gid=499(nagios) groups=499(nagios),498(nagcmd) # groups nagios nagios : nagios nagcmd # groups apache apache : apache nagios Hmm, after enabling debugging and restaring opsview (not opsview-web), it works again! Seems I had the right config but I could swear I restarted the opsview daemon a couple of times too.. Thanks for your help and the explanation. Much appreciated.
