Recently, one of our customers approached us with a Nagios error.

He installed Nagios core 4.0.8 on CentOS. And, when he tried to access the home page, he got the below error.

He tried the same after reinstalling the Nagios core. But, he again received the same error.

Our Support Engineers checked the error in detail. On checking using the below command, we found that the SELinux has been enabled.

getenforce

But, to resolve the error, we need to disable the SELinux using the following command.

setenforce 0

Finally, after disabling the SELinux, we restart the Nagios using the command,

/etc/init.d/nagios restart

Finally, this fixed the error.
