Hello,
I am pretty new to Linux and I am trying to build a Nagios Monitoring System using CentOS7 Minimal version.
I follow this instruction on building my Nagios (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nagios-4-and-monitor-your-servers-on-centos-7)
However, I cannot seem to start my nagios webpage. Below are some of the command that might help.
service httpd status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status httpd.service ● httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:httpd(8) man:apachectl(8)
service nagios status
nagios (pid 3968) is running…
sudo apachectl configtest
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using fe80::215:5dff:fe47:a10. Set the ‘ServerName’ directive globally to suppress this message Syntax OK
Would really appreciate any help.

Hello,
Can you try the following:
- First try starting your httpd service and then check the status again (the hostname warning that you are getting is not a problem)
- If httpd fails to start, check your httpd error logs for the exact error that you get
- Also use the
netstat -plantcommand to check your ports, maybe there’s another service already listening on port 80 and that’s why apache is failing to start
If you wish you could provide me with your httpd error logs and the output of the netstat command so that I could advice further.
Regards, Bobby
Just an update, after I run all these command again (https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/Nagios-Core-Installing-On-Centos7.pdf#_ga=2.175257890.1451548335.1562281975-513490159.1562281975) it started my nagios. I just don’t know how messy this is now :)
Will just need to learn how to user Nagios. Thanks.
