Problem with Configuration

[apperrault]

Hi everyone,
I am a total Newbie to Nagios, and a relative newbie to Linux. I am trying to get nConf setup to assist in generating my Nagios config files. I got NConf setup properly, and i can add devices, but for some reason, when i go to generate config it gives me an error. it says Error accessing or executing Nagios binary. Now based on my newbieness, there is a possibility that i have set an incorrect path somewhere, but how do i figure out what the correct path is. When it says Nagios binaries, what exactly is it looking for. I can do a sudo find / | grep nagios |more and it will return a long list of Nagios files, but i don't know which path this application wants.

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks much

aaron

Your Nagios binary is the executable that is run when you start the Nagios daemon.
You can either have a look at your start/stop script '/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios' (if there is one), or you can run a search for binaries called 'nagios':

$> updatedb
$> locate nagios|grep bin

The file is usually located somewhere under '/usr/bin/' or similar. Once you found it you can test it by executing it on the command line:
$> /usr/bin/nagios
Nagios 3.0.6
