[Nagios-db-devel] troubleshoot assistance

[Lindsay W. <lin...@ad...>]

Hi,

I'm having some problems getting Nagios-DB up and running properly after 
an upgrade of Nagios from 2.0b3 to 2.0b4.

So far as Nagios-DB is concerned, I'm starting from scratch with beta4. 
I've got the latest Nagios-DB CVS source, applied the 2.0b4 NEB 
registration patch, and manually edited the pgwrapper so that the 
PQconnect arguments are sure to make a successful connect. I can confirm 
that the module is connecting to the database OK and issuing commands.

My problem is:
When I start Nagios the logs don't report any errors but the Web GUI 
gives the typical error page when trying to view something like host 
details (gives generic configuration problem error). Nagios itself does 
not perform any checks at all. If I remove the module load config from 
nagios.cfg then everything works fine...so it seems related to the 
Nagios-DB NEB module load.

an `/etc/init.d/nagios stop` will not properly shutdown nagios and that 
needs to be manually killed before starting again, once again this is 
only if the NEB module is configured to load.

Logs seem fine:

I don't fully understand the interaction between the NEB modules and the 
Nagios core process so I've been messing around with this for quite a 
number of hours and have not made any progress, any assistance or tips 
would be appreciated.

I'm using:
postgres (PostgreSQL) 7.4.6.
Nagios 2.0b4
CVS Nagios-DB
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)

Cheers,
Lindsay
