Server or Configuration Problem
A Server problem occurred. You'll find details in the error log of Apache. One possible reason is, that the file /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users is missing. You can create that file with htpasswd or htpasswd2. A better solution might be to use your existing htpasswd file from your Nagios installation. Please edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/check_mk and change the path there. Restart Apache afterwards.

The file usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users exists and is used in /etc/httpd/conf.d/check_mk
The file .wato will not be created.

permissions for directory
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 21 14:21 conf.d

Which permissions must be checked/adjusted?

I tried
chgrp apache conf.d
chmod 664 conf.d
but still same troubles.

Used version:
-------------------------------------------
OS: CentOS release 5.6 (Final)
PHP: 5.2.10
Nagios Core: 3.2.3
check_mk: 1.1.11i2

Hi,

a chmod 664 to a directory (conf.d) removes the access right for all. Directories need always 755 or (in your case) 775.

Hi,

thanks for the info, but a chmod 775 still hadn't solved the problem.
Only a chmod 777 solved the WATO permission problem.

Maybe there is a problem in the check_MK install procedure.
I installed check_MK on a clean Nagios / CentOS 5.6 installation and the permissons for /etc/check_mk/conf.d was not set correct.
Here on the clean install I got the permissions problem.

Many thanks for help
Wolfgang

Hi,

the setup procedure of Check_MK does not (yet) setup permissions for WATO yet - your right. Most people use OMD nowadays, where everything works out of the box.. hhhh

Hi,

setting the permission to 777 is not really a good solution.
I ran into the same issue on OpenSuse 12.1 and changing the owner of "conf.d" to wwwrun corrected the problem.

Hope that helps

Dieter
