Nagios Support Forum

Hi Guys,

I have been having issues with my Nagios xi installation, I had a disk space problem which is resolved now after provisioning more space on vmware server and also resizing on the centos. I have started the mysqld and postgresql services and and I am sure it running now, I also now have access to my web interface and tried applying configuration Nagios Core.

Find error below
----------------------------------------------------
Config File Permissions Check

* One or more config files have problems.

Config Scripts

The permissions on the Nagios xi configuration scripts appear to be okay.
Config Files

The following configuration files have incorrect permissions:

* /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/contacttemplates.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/hostdependencies.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/hostescalations.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosttemplates.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceescalations.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/servicegroups.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/servicetemplates.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)

Each of these config files needs to be writable by the apache and nagios users. To fix this problem, follow these steps:

* Login to your Nagios xi server via SSH as the root user
* Execute the following commands:
o /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_config_perms
