/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios not found
 

Hi all,

I am installing Nagios 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 using Nagios Ubuntu Installation guide.After completing all the steps, when I start the apache or nagios service I get an error saying:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios not found

Hoping for a early reply.
Thank you in advance. :)

Well if it's not there it's not there... not really sure what we're supposed to tell you abuot this one :)

I'd guess in general you followed a guide that doesn't match up with the method you used to actually install the software? that location is, I think, the location that it would go to when installed from source, as opposed to a fully distro integrated RPM / DEB deployment.

Run:
and find the nagios binary within the results.

YankeePride13,
Ran the code but I could not find the nagios bin file in the list of files.

Maybe you accidentally deleted the binary? Try re-installing it.

Would help if you told us what guide you're following. There is a guide found on Google using those terms, but it's old, and for an old version of Ubuntu. The current one:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/14551...install-nagios

..indicates that it's in the repositories. There is also another guide:

But if you can't find the file, are you SURE you installed it?? Have you run (as root) "find / -name nagios*"?

Maybe the package that contains nagios simply isn't installed yet. If the file's not there, that must be it. What else could it be? (However, be sure that you have run "updatdb" before trying "locate.")
