Thanks David.

The 777 permissions worked. I am going to change the ownership as well and check that out.

Regards
Neil

Hi Quick Follow up.

I checked the hobbit-nkview.cfg, hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak files and I found
a  xymon-nkview.cfg.bak. All remain empty and according to the man pages
this is where the critical systems should be written to. SO I think I
have a permissions issue. I checked the permissions of the files and the
hobbit-nkview files belong to root and the group is also root they have
the 664 permissions applied. The xymon-nkview.cfg.bak belongs to root
and the group is apache. I am getting a little confused now and not sure
how to solve this problem. 

Hope someone out there has a idea.

  
On my system those files are writeable by the hobbit user and group. Not
sure if suexec is required in apache to make this work. First pass you
could make permissions 777. Also check your error_log file from apache
and possibly /var/log/hobbit/cgierror.log

David.

Hi Guys/Gals

I am busy setting up the critical systems and I am running into a brick
wall. For example I add a server called  TUW-x and the svcs to a level
one priority and click search it tell me that there is no record for
this host/service. I then fill out the other details and click the
update record button. When I then search for this record I get the same
error message. How do I know that this record was saved? I am pretty
sure it was not as I check the Config Report(Critical) and get very
empty report with zero hosts.

Any ideas where I can look for errors regarding the critical setup.

Regards
Neil
