Hi, NagiosQL

I just installed NagiosQL few days ago. Everything went fine during installation, no errors at all.

I have imported my nagios config files and alle files are "up to date". However, when I go into Tools > Nagios Control and hit the "Restart Nagios" button (after checking config files) I get the following error message:

Nagios daemon is not running, cannot send restart command!

Nagios is running, and I can't see any error messages in any logs. The external_commands in nagios.cfg is set to 1

Hope you can help

Just found out..
NagiosQL is looking for /var/run/nagios/nagios.pid file.. However, nagios is using /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock file..

Just make a link from /var/run/nagios.pid which points to /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock,,,

/terje_rt

Hi,

that's why you can set the lock or pidfile in the settings. The files is in some distributions a .pid and in others .lock.

Cheers,

Where can this be changed? I don't see any place to change where to find the pid file under the nagiosql admin->Administration->Settings

Never mind...found it under Administration->Domains->edit

Hello everyone,

I have the similar problem. I installed the nagiosql from the ZIP file. Followed the instructions and everything seems to work just fine...
Except the "Restart Nagios" button. I have the same error message:
"Nagios daemon is not running, cannot send restart command!"

The nagios is running fine. I tried to follow terje_rt's advise but I have the PID file. I have no .lock file. The path to the PID file is correct however I still get the error message.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
