Configs verified still give error on reload

Hi all !

I installed nagios some days ago on an Ubuntu virtual machine, and until this morning, I’ve been doing fine…

This morning, I start my VM, then I connect to my nagios page and see everything is still offline, which is OK since my nagios server doesn’t stay online all the time yet.

Thinking about speeding up the process of checking all my hosts, I do : /etc/init.d/nagios reload

This returns me the error :

[blockquote]Running configuration check… CONFIG ERROR! Reload aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.[/blockquote]

Now… I know what this means, but what I don’t understand is last time I worked with my Nagios, I had no problem reloading it, so my configs still should be OK…

Anyway, I’m trying to find out where the error could be by checking my config, but…

THIS
[blockquote]/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg[/blockquote]

RETURNS
[blockquote]Nagios 3.0.3

OK… I’m sorry about this stupid question I asked…

It appears Nagios doesn’t think it’s relevant to indicate when you have no permission…

Indeed, if I connect with putty on my VM, which I do with root, the reload works fine… same thing if I sudo the reload command… but if I try with the user, it says CONFIG ERROR!

So I have my answer :slight_smile: maybe this can help someone having the same trouble, otherwise it can be deleted for me…
