Is there some part of the installation manual missing?
after tar nagiosql, immediately a directory structure.
No installation of extracted files.
How can that be done.
I installed php on Ubuntu 8.04, do I need extra extensions and if yes how to get them and installed.

Thank you.

NagiosQL
Download and extract
Download the latest NagiosQL Version from www.nagiosql.org and extract the nagiosql-*.tar.gz to a directory accessible by your webserver (e.g. /srv/www/htdocs). A subdirectory "nagiosql" will be created:

# cd /srv/www/htdocs/ # cp nagiosql-*.tar.gz /srv/www/htdocs/ # tar zxvf nagiosql-*.tar.gzConfiguration

Directory Structure
It is recommend to have the following directory structure (you can change the directory names in your NagiosQL Domain Configuration):

/etc/nagiosql/ -> Common configuration files " /hosts -> Host configuration files " /services -> Service configuration files " /backup/ -> Backups of the common configuration files " " /hosts -> Backups of the host configuration files " " /services -> Backups of the service configuration filesNagios

Hi,
there is a doc folder inside the install folder. Just look for a short howto there.

Cheers,

documentation isnot sane:

a) it doesnot is the same either under the /install/doc/INSTALLATION_enGB.txt or www.nagiosql.org/faq/31-general-document...3-documentation.html link. There are significant divergencies.

b) even step-by-step followed, the 3rd item ("3. Start the Installation Wizard by opening install/index.php and choose "New Installation"") doesnot run as expected. I inserted the /nagios3/ folder in the httpd.conf but error persist:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_start() in /usr/local/www/nagios3/install/index.php on line 20

any hint?

TIA.

call to undefined function session_start() seems to point to a php without session support. Are you sure your session support is running?

pls, define "session support".

note: I am using FreeBSD 7.2/Apache 2.2

TIA

php session support: you could rather check if your php supports sessions by entering "php -m | grep session" or by opening a phpinfo page.

Regarding the documentation: What problem did you have?
