Httpd won't start after 6.10 to 7.7 upgrade-tool upgrade

[macwunder (Jeff Folk)]

Upgraded my server to 7.7 today using the upgrade-tool. Appeared to go fine, as I can get into the admin gui on both ports (980 & 9090). httpd fails to start due to unknown auth in pnp4nagios.conf - ldap

Anyone else experience this?
Thanks for any assistance.

httpd fails to start due to unknown auth in pnp4nagios.conf - ldap

Do I understand correctly that you have an external application (Nagios) installed? This could be very tricky. AFAIK the upgrade tool is especially designed for Nethserver with offical modules only. Is there an option to remove Nagios and reinstall after upgrade? (maybe with backup of database that can be re-imported afterwards)?

[macwunder (Jeff Folk)]

Didn’t install anything outside of Neth universe.

pnp4nagios.conf states it is a system modified template…

pnp4nagios.conf

It was required by nethserver-adagios which is not supported on NethServer7:

nethserver-ocsinventory, nethserver-adagios: due to compatibility problems with Nagios, these modules will be mantained only on NethServer 6 release

If nethserver-adagios is no longer installed (due to the upgrade), there might be some remnants that shall be safe to remove (like /etc/httpd/conf.d/pnp4nagios.conf).

If it’s of help:

Adagios installation on NethServer 7.x with Nagios 4

Hi all! Some good news from monitoring world: new Adagios version is out and now - finally - supports Nagios 4! Here’s the steps to go through the installation: Install additional repos and update them: rpm -ihv http://opensource.is/repo/ok-release.rpm rpm -Uvh https://labs.consol.de/repo/stable/rhel7/x86_64/labs-consol-stable.rhel7.noarch.rpm yum update -y ok-release Install deps: yum install -y git acl libstdc++-static python-setuptools pnp4nagios Install Nagios 4 and Livestat…

Migrate from 6.9 to 7.4

You may have a look into OMD if you like nagios, icinga etc: Or Zabbix, as alternative, scroll down to get the newest update:

This was part of base system statistics? Or bandwidth management?

Are you suggesting to just delete the pnp4nagios.conf file?

Thanks…

[macwunder (Jeff Folk)]

I see those old packages you referenced…

[macwunder (Jeff Folk)]

Thanks for the help. I appended .rpmsave to the end of the conf filename and restarted httpd. It has started and I can get to SOGo and OwnCloud pages.

[dnutan (Marc)]

It was part of system and network monitoring. Your server still has those packages installed?

rpm -qa \*nagios \*ocsinventory

If you need further help someone who upgraded from nethserver 6 shall provide better recommendations on what to do (if monitoring is required).
Regards.
