Re: [Nagios-users] Internal Server Error Occuring when trying to access Nagios on the browser

[Dorfman, Justin]

I would sugest that you check that you've created the nagios user and group
as following the output of your command *ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/
*nagios should run under nagios user and nagios group.


if you did edit your nagios.cfg
Code:

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

and change the nagios_user and nagios_group to nagios
Code:

nagios_user=nagios
nagios_group=nagios

save it and try to restart nagios again.

Re: [Nagios-users] Internal Server Error Occuring when trying to access Nagios on the browser

[Alex Dehaini]

Hi Ifeanyi,

The issue points to a permission issue - how did you install nagios? Did you
compile it or you used a package manager to install. What environment are
you using? Redhat - Centos? What version of nagios did you install/

Re: [Nagios-users] Internal Server Error Occuring when trying to access Nagios on the browser

[Ifeanyi Agu]

Hello Alex,

I have the changed the owner and group of the file to nagios but I still get 
the same error in nagios.log file when I try to start nagios. I tried this when 
logged in as the root user. I then logged in as nagios user and I could not 
even start apache or nagios. It was telling me that service is not a command it 
recognises. Please, please, please help me. Am running outta time

I wouldn't have thought that would be the problem, no.

Take a look at the nagios log file which is probably
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

Don't forget my earlier recommendation to validate the Nagios config like so:


  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Did you try that, and if so what did it say?

Cheers,

Jim

Verifying the config should tell you what is wrong

Hello Jim,

Thanks for the help so far. I disabled SELinux and I tried starting Nagios 
again but I noticed that Nagios was not running. I am logged in as the root

You should see the nagios process(es) listed (possibly along with the
grep process which is part of the command you just ran)  something
like this:

nagios     401     1 23 Aug13 ?        2-18:48:18
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   17576   401  0 12:42 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   17650   401  0 12:42 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   17725   401  1 12:42 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   17728   401  1 12:42 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
mylogin   17746   526  0 12:42 pts/0    00:00:00 grep nagios

Looking at the comments on the web page where you got the instructions
from, it also seems likely that SELINUX is enabled on your Centos
linux OS.  Personally I would disable it as it's a right pain to
manage otherwise.  I don't run RedHat or Centos myself so can't tell
you how to do that.

Please can I also ask you to send your emails to this list in plain
text?  The formatting can be a bit tricky to work with when quoting
back a reply.

Cheers,

Jim

Hello Jim,

I used this link (http://www.kernelhardware.org/install-nagios-on-centos-5/) to 
install my Nagios. I did all that you said while installing. I ran this command 
  ps -ef | grep nagios and I saw an output but I did not see anything that 
shows me whether Nagios Daemon is running or not. How do I know?

Hello all,

I am new to Nagios. I just installed it and did all the necessary configuration 
but when I open it on my browser, I can only view the documentation. The other 
links I go keep showing me internal server error.


I checked the apache error logs and it was telling me that permission was 
denied when trying to access the cgi files that come with Nagios. Please what 
could be the problem?

Welcome!  I hope you enjoy using Nagios as much as I do.


A common reason for this problem is that the correct permissions are not 
applied.


When you compiled nagios, did you run "make install-webconf"?

After that you should have reloaded the Apache config.  The command for this 
might vary depending on what Linux distribution you are using.  As an example, 
on Ubuntu it is..


  /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Another problem can be that the Nagios daemon is not running.  If you enter:

  ps -ef | grep nagios

does this show the daemon running?

It is also a good idea to check your nagios config before starting the Nagios 
daemon.  You do this by entering:


/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

(you might need to alter those if you installed in a different location).  If 
the verification fails, you will need to fix whatever the problems are in your 
config before continuing.


Which version of Linux are you using, and which instructions did you follow 
when installing Nagios?  Nagios can be installed in lots of different ways so 
it will help to know which one you were working to.

Cheers,


Jim
