#6 NaWui Configuration settings Does Not Create config.inc

[Philip Reyniers]

I have nagios 1.1 installed, configured, and running.
The directory tree is a follows:

/opt/hpws/nagios
bin <---- nagios executable.
libexec <---- nagios plugins.
share <---- nagios home.
var <---- nagios var.
etc <---- nagios *.cfg files.
sbin <---- nagios *.cgi files.

Nagios is configured for user and group as follows:
User Name: nagios
Group Name: nagios

Apache is configured for user and groups as follows:
User Name: www
Group Name: other nagios

Nawui installed and running in the following location:
/opt/hpws/nawui

I am able to connect to the nawui website using
http://myservername/nawui . This brings up the
setup.php script (i.e. NaWui Configuration settings)
however, when populated with my configuration
information. The NaWui Configuration settings are not
stored in the /opt/hpws/nawui/includes directory and
the screen returns back to the original (default) settings.
I have checked Apache's error_log and access_log for
any errors and there are none.

How do I setup nawui in order to administer nagios?

Try to create that file first, with write permissions to the
webserver where nawui is runing.

I will start to fix bug issues very soon.

Thanks for your post.

I did what you (hvm_pt) suggested. But it doesn't work anyway.

First I created a file in '/var/www/html/nawui/includes',
called 'config.inc' with the right permissions set to the
webserver. And the error page told me:

Please edit 'nagios_etc' in includes/config.inc to point to
your Nagios configuration directory.
Please edit 'nagios_etc' in includes/config.inc to point to
your Nagios configuration directory.

What can it be?

I had the same problem. It appears that setup.php doesn't
even try to write the file, as no error is produced.
However nawuicfg.php works fine. I generated my own
config.inc which solved the problem

Set register_globals = On in /etc/php.ini.

I looked at the 2nd function in includes/functions.inc.php
and found all the entries nawui seems to expect. I copied
them to a temp file and removed all the php coding, the rest
;-) was moved to config.inc.

Well, so I entered "http://localhost/nawui" and I am not
longer greeted with the setup screen but with the contents
of config.inc.

This is surely not what I expected 8-( Does one really have
to recode the whole project before it starts working?

That worked, or at least moved on to the next problem!
