or can any1 explain the follwing

Nagios 2.0b3 starting… (PID=2832)
sh: line 1: /check_ping: No such file or directory
Warning: Attempting to execute the command “/check_ping -H 127.0.0.1
-w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1” resulted in a return code of 127.
Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually
exists…

it looks like nagios is searching the plugins in the root directory of your server instead of the nagios/libexec directory.

(and then nothing happens)

Try running ps -A | grep nagios . If anything shows up nagios is running. Also check your web interface (yourserver/nagios/ ) and click on “process info”. If there are no error messages, nagios is running. You can also start/restart nagios by issuing the command /etc/init.d/nagios start or /etc/init.d/nagios restart. If the start command shows a PID, nagios is probably running.

Edit: the command syntax was wrong :o

nagios IS running… do you get a prompt after starting nagios?

Luca

no, no promt !

anything in the logs? nagios, httpd. or syslog?

Luca,
thanks for your help,nothing comes up unfort. have u any suggestions?

this is what is in the log

[1121853724] Nagios 2.0b3 starting… (PID=1628)
[1121853724] LOG VERSION: 2.0
[1121853724] Lockfile ‘/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock’ is held by
PID 1611. Bailing out…

can any1 tell me how to remove selinux please?

i think there was something recently… try a search on the forum.

Luca

what path is yout httpd.conf file in?

what path is your httpd.conf file in?

what path is your httpd.conf file in?

the httpd.conf is in the apache directory. depends from your system, it usually is in /etc/apache or /etc/httpd.
you should find it making a serach on the file system usign “whereis” or “find”.

Luca

PS: go one problem after the other, it makes not much senese working on the httpd.conf and se linux at the same time, first remove SELinux (which is known to give rpoblems with nagios from what i0ve seen on this forum)

That tells you that you are triing to start nagios, but nagios is already running.

Stop nagios
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios stop
ps -ef|grep nagios
Make sure that they are all dead, if not, kill them until the grep shows no nagios running.
Reboot your puter if you have to but kill them all FIRST.
Then use the -v again and make sure your config files are correct this time, before you attempt to start nagios. If you have rebooted, nagios will most likely already be started automatically, so use -v before you reboot.

thank you very very jakkedup.appreciate the mail!!
