Problems with Nagios 1.0 ebuild

Nagios 1.0 builds fine, however, the CGI pages do not appear to work correctly. The tactical overview does not list hosts, everything says permission is denied, etc.

I know it is not my configuration files because I am migrating from a working 1.0 setup.

Interestingly enough, if I substitute the binaries from the working Nagios 1.0 system (from a RedHat 7.3 box) on my Gentoo box, everything works fine.

I thought it may be a GCC 3.2 problem, so I emerged GCC 2.95.3 and rebuilt nagios with no change.

Any suggestions?

hmmm I had no problems building it last week, here's a few things to check.

1. Are the files in /etc/nagios/ owned by nagios:nagios and set to permissions 664? Also my nrpe.cfg, nsca.cfg, and send_nsca.cfg is owned by root:root.

2. Are you starting Apache with a -D NAGIOS, it should show up in the last line of your /etc/conf.d/apache

3. Does your /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf include the nagios.conf in a line like this:
Include conf/addon-modules/nagios.conf

Thanks for the quick response...

To answer your questions:

1 - Checked permissions, everything is as you mentioned.

2 - Yes, I'm using -D NAGIOS

3 - apache.conf is as stated.

The problem only occurs with the binaries resulting from the ebuild. Oddly enough, if I use binaries compiled on one of my RH7.3 systems, it works fine. I thought this might be a GCC issue, but building with 2.95.3 instead of 3.2.1 had no effect.

Maybe there's a USE I'm missing? Are you logging to a MySQL database or files?

To elaborate a little more, the error I get when accessing any of the overview sections is either:

Nope, no mysql. This was a test box before we migrated from netsaint to nagios on the main systems.

Here's a bit of info from my install, maybe it'll give you some clues.

I had the same problem.

To solve:

place apache or apache2 in your USE flags in /etc/make.conf

plus..

place gd in your USE flags in /etc/make.conf

if gd isn't in your USE flag then the nagios components are not copied to your apache directory.
