Centos5 running VMware on linux got the same error...

The state is: the inital
The state is: the inital congif screen hangs when posting the info to the VM via https.....says working but never finishes. If you refresh the browser after 10 min or so it act like it finishes. You can log into the admin screen, etc. if you SSH to it and ps -ef nagios isnt running....so I think the init script (nagios2) is failing at setup. Test box: QuadCore 8gb of ram; Vista64 - 2nd system: Dualcore 2gb of ram Vista Ultimate 32. Both show the same error.
So to me its the init script it runs to setup nagios the overall "health" of the VM seems fine....hope this helps

Yeah, its definitely dying when we restart nagios. What happens if you run:
sudo /etc/init.d/nagios2 start
sudo /etc/init.d/nagios2 restart
on one of these that you SSH into? Do these commands exit cleanly?

Also, there is a nagios logfile at /var/log/nagios2/nagios.log. If you see anything interesting in that you can email to me if you want.

Nagios hangs on initial config screen
We have had a second report (on virtual box) of this via email so I am eager to track down the issue if only I could recreate it.

Hi Tim,
You didn't specify which release of Nagios but I am going to assume the latest 1.1.0 Nagios JumpBox. Can you verify the MD5SUM of the zipfile you downloaded? I get this:
a0f20d1f6f9a779d0c0fadbbfa0483c7
We have just reverified that release on three different platforms and don't see the same results. If you are using the same release, could you unzip and try again? Also, what virtualization platform and host OS are you using?
Austin
[root@localhost twolfe]#
[root@localhost twolfe]# md5sum nagios-1.1.0.zip
a0f20d1f6f9a779d0c0fadbbfa0483c7 nagios-1.1.0.zip
[root@localhost twolfe]#
Checksum is good

Ok, so you have tried it multiple times on multiple platforms and had it fail every time. We have tried it many times and not gotten it to fail. Hmmm are all of your hosts on a LAN with a DHCP server? Or are you making changes to the vmware configuration file?
Oh actually, what is the state of the JumpBox after it fails during setup? Is either the app or the administration portal accessible?
Austin
Its Vista; tried it on
Its Vista; tried it on multiple machines....I unzip it; place it in the VM dir; change from bridge to NAT and boot it. It boots fine.
The setup splash screen comes up and when your saving the info you get the error. Vista 64 and Vista 32 I get the same error.
All other VM's work on Vista32/64 its just nagios that fails. DHCP yes....plain jane setup.
Now a month ago on the same machine the nagios beta worked; same machine. So I am scratching my head. Anyway no bigs I will run it on Linux where it works. Wanted to sell to a Winblows client who wanted nagios and a wiki that was plug and play.

Well, this is still definitely an outstanding issue for us. Just one I can't recreate sadly. So you actually have it running on Linux? I was under the impression that everywhere you tried it it failed. I have had it work on Linux and Mac VMware and Parallels, I dont know that I tried windows specifically.
Changing to NAT might make a difference. I will try that when I can.
Austin

Well, its not JUST the NAT. Setup works just fine when I switch to NAT.

Solved the problem
Its a bug....I had changed everything except the password to make the thing work. So just for grins I changed the password to a non-complex version and it worked. The password string I had in it had a % and a @. When I removed it I didnt get the error. Tested on all platforms and it worked.

Awesome Tim, you are my hero. We will straighten that out. Though thats a really strange way for that problem to manifest itself. I have narrowed it down to the '@'. I really appreciate your feedback.

I have tested it on Fedora 9
I have tested it on Fedora 9 running VMWare Server and WindowsVista 64bit running VMWare Server. I will download again and verify the checksum.
