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

[Wilson P. J. <wp....@te...>]

Ben,

I've used the correct prefix. Now, I've deleted the program and done the
complete recompile. The program was regenerated:

[root@genesis bin]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios
--with-imagedir=/usr/local/nagios/share/images/ --with-cgidir
=/usr/local/nagios/sbin --with-http_image_path=/nagios/images

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       253547 Aug 27 11:25 perfparse-db-tool

but the problem persisted, it looks for the cfg file the wrong place:

[root@genesis bin]# ./perfparse-db-tool --update
Error, can't open configuation file: "//usr/local/etc/perfparse.cfg"

So, I've copied perfparse.cfg to /usr/local/etc and the update was
successfully performed. 

Thanks for the help. But I'm still curious about the program checking the
cfg file into the wrong path...

Regards,

Wilson
