I have a new setup with ubuntu 9.04 and I get this error:

Jul 10 15:12:02 nagios nagios: Warning: Unable to move file '/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/checkcyG3Jk' to check results queue.

And in Nagios webinterface I have:

[code]localhost

All is localhost so there should be no problems, But I dont get the error. Permissions seems to be ok.

Debug doesnt say much:

Anyone has a clue or know how I can pinpoint the problem?

I’ve investigated further with strace:

[pid 23675] write(3, "[1247229897.063604] [016.0] [pid="..., 72) = 72 [pid 23675] _llseek(3, 0, [768791], SEEK_CUR) = 0 [pid 23675] time(NULL) = 1247229897 [pid 23675] open("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 1 [pid 23675] fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0775, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 [pid 23675] fcntl64(1, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 [pid 23675] gettimeofday({1247229897, 64014}, NULL) = 0 [pid 23675] write(3, "[1247229897.064014] [016.1] [pid="..., 122) = 122 [pid 23675] _llseek(3, 0, [768913], SEEK_CUR) = 0 [pid 23675] getdents(1, /* 4 entries */, 4096) = 76 [pid 23675] stat64("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/czrANml", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 [pid 23675] stat64("/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults/czrANml.ok", 0xbfb3669c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Seems like czrANml.ok all .ok files aint created.

total 12
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 12288 Jul 10 16:49 checkresults

-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 0 Jul 10 16:49 c1uxGN4
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 0 Jul 10 16:48 c6rq9ek

So it shouldnt be a permission error, why aint the .ok file created?

Here is output of one file:

[code]root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults# cat checkbhUvtC

did you run “make install-commandmode” when compiling? it’s possibly the easist way to solve permission porblems.

Yes I did, and I did it again, still the same :frowning:
