so can anyone help me pls i am stuck her couldnt open nagios pls help ............

How did you install? from package manager or source?

Spell out your words, please. And if you put the error into Google, you'd have found plenty of suggestions:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.netw...ios.user/75320
http://askubuntu.com/questions/73206...-init-d-script

...with some solutions. Did you try Google, or any of the suggested solutions?

i am new to linux i tried the installation in terminal

have a look at http://www.hammondslegacy.com/forum/...php?f=40&t=194

...and you STILL haven't answered the questions. How did you do the installation 'in terminal'?? What did you do/type? Results? Where did you get the package?

And AGAIN...did you try any of the solutions listed in the links provided to you? Because if you had, it would probably be working.

my ubuntu version is 12.04
nagios version is nagios-4.0.0beta4
nagios plugin version is nagios-plugins-1.4.16

i have installed my host os is windows 7
vm used is oracle virtualbox

i followed the installation from youtube video Nagios sous Ubuntu 12.04 ~ Mohamed AKRICH

i followed the entire installation but changed the versions as mentioned above everything got installed without any issues but when i type

"service nagios start"
and this is what i get

/etc/init.d/nagios: 20 .:Can't open /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions




so pls help me and i am a newbie to ubuntu
i dont know what to do how to replace and what to replace those url never gave a solution they simply ask the same

Hey Nivin..

/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions belongs to CentOS/RHEL/Fedora flavors NOT on ubuntu.

So remove that line.

Right...that's what the links in post #3 said.

how to remove that line , i dont get it could u be more precise pls

see i dont understand by removing that line i just want to run nagios ,so can you be more precise and explain me what i should do pls.

Press I and then # <-- that's a capital i not an El or One
Press ESC twice
It should look like this now or
either way, it's remarked out.
Press ZZ twice to exit vi
back at the terminal prompt

Spell your words out...and the three links initially provided have instructions on what to edit, and what to change. Can't be much more 'precise' than that. And AGAIN, you have not answered the questions asked of you, such as HOW you installed Nagios, etc.

You can install Nagios for Ubuntu, and not have to edit ANYTHING, if you followed the Ubuntu Nagios quickstart guide (again, it's in one of the links you were already given). The 'precise' link:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3...rt-ubuntu.html

I would like to ask how the first step to installing the Linux operating system and the two windows in one pc?

Read the LQ Rules, please. Do NOT hijack someone elses thread with your own question...open your own thread if you have something to ask. And your question is vague...what version/distro of Linux? What do you mean by "two windows"? What kind of PC? What are your goals, what have you done/tried, and have you tried to look this up??

When you open your own thread, be sure to post all those things.
