Re: [Perfparse-users] Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]

[Ben C. <Be...@cl...>]

I note the error is:

Error, can't open configuration file: "//usr/local/etc/perfparse.cfg"

The file you are after is:

/usr/local/nagios/etc/perfparse.cfg

Are you are configuring using: --prefix=/usr/local/nagios ??

This should work. :(

Can you try deleting the program 'perfparse-db-tool' and doing a 
complete recompile, as stated in the README?

Does this regenerate this program?   If you run it, does it work?
