RE: [Nagios-db-devel] Error loading module

[Michael H. <mic...@ax...>]

Sorry Ben I no-longer have access to the system otherwise I'd include
the log here. I believe the first error was the module calling a stored
procedure to clear the configuration:

135	res =3D PQexec(pgconn,"select empty_config()");

which resulted in this message being printed:

138	snprintf(q,sizeof(q),"nagios-db: couldn't clear config info
(%s)", PQresultErrorMessage(res));

with an empty string from PQresultErrorMessage(). From there the log
just
filled with error messages until Nagios shut itself down.

Thanks,

	Michael
