Can you run the following in a shell on the xi system and post the output here?

Code: Select all

service ndo2db start
service npcd start
service nagios start
You may want to check these log files for any errors and post them here.

I tried that, but nothing helps.
please look into this. I guess something is weird.

[root@local ~]# mv /usr/local/nagiosmobile /opt/box/
[root@local ~]# mv /usr/local/nagiosxi /opt/box/
[root@local ~]# mv /usr/local/nagvis /opt/box/
[root@local ~]# mv /usr/local/nrdp /opt/box/
[root@local ~]# mv /usr/local/nsis /opt/box/
[root@local ~]# ls /usr/local/
bin  etc  games  include  lib  lib64  libexec  ncpa  sbin  share  src  var
[root@local ~]# ls /opt/box/
bin  etc  libexec  nagiosmobile  nagiosxi  nagvis  nrdp  nsis  sbin  share  var
[root@local ~]# ln -s /opt/box/nagios /usr/local/nagios
[root@local ~]# ln -s /opt/box/nagiosmobile /usr/local/nagiosmobile
[root@local ~]# ln -s /opt/box/nagiosxi /usr/local/nagiosxi

[root@local ~]# chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagiosxi
[root@local ~]# chown apache.apache /usr/local/nagvis
[root@local ~]# chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nrdp
[root@local ~]# service ndo2db start
Executable file /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db not found.  Exiting.

[root@local ~]# service nagios start

And there's nothing relevant in error logs from both locations you mentioned.

I'm sorry about the delayed response.

We couldn't get anything to work properly after the changes we made by moving the files.

So, we've re-installed the setup in the default location. As of now we are not going to think anything on custom location.

We'll update if we plan to do.
