Hi all
I've tried installing the Nagios (2.0b4p0) port chrooted but I get the
following error when it comes to the last stage of the install:
Installing nagios-2.0b4p0-chroot from
/
Can't install nagios-2.0b4p0-chroot because of conflicts (nagios-2.0b4p0)
/usr/sbin/pkg_add:
/ error
Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/nagios/nagios (line 1902 of
/).
Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/nagios (line 108 of
/).
I installed like so:
# cd /usr/ports/net/nagios/
# make flavor='chroot'
# make install
After reading a post I found on Google I tried:
# cd /usr/ports/net/nagios/
# make flavor='chroot'
# cd nagios
# make install
Both options fail with the above error. All the dependenciess seemed to
install K. I also tried without using the flavor='chroot' in the make cmd.
The system is a GENERIC kernel base install with the ports tree
installed and updated. The only other thing I have done to the system
is install SSL certs for Apache.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? I don't mind either way
whether I get a full chrooted install although it would be very nice!
Thanks

Looks like you've already got the non-chroot flavour installed,
pkg_delete it first.

># make flavor='chroot'

That's not how ports(7) says to do this (see the section headed FLAVRS
if you actually want to build it yourself for some reason: otherwise,
it's simpler to just use the provided packages).

Thanks for this Stuart. I tried it withe right way from the man page
and it failed because the plugins dont support chroot flavor.

So I cleaned everything up again and tried a normal make && make install
and it still fails with the original message. This is even after the
fact that I did a pkg_delete and cleaned the directories recommended
after the pkg_delete.

So any ideas why this would happen in a normal build of the port?

I'll perhaps try to install the package instead of the port but I like
installing from src where possible.

Thanks again

cd /usr/ports/net/nagios/ && FLAVR=chroot make install clean-depends
that should do it ;)

Thanks viq, but this still fails on the plugins install as they dont
support chroot flavor aparently:

Fatal: Unknown flavor: chroot (in net/nagios/plugins)
(Possible flavors are: no_db no_ntp no_samba no_snmp). (in
net/nagios/plugins)
Error code 1

Stop.
Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/nagios (line 108 of
/).

Is there a way around this so the full install c/w plugins, etc all work
in a chrooted environment?

Thanks

Plugins and the main software are in subdirectories
(/usr/ports/net/nagios/nagios & /usr/ports/net/nagios/plugins), you can
compile them separately, one with flavours, one without. But you don't
need to, read on

When you 'make install', the port is built, packages are created (you'll
see them in /usr/ports/packages/) then installed. Packages for ftp
sites and CDs are made this way too. For e.g. Nagios, well, take a look
at /usr/ports/net/nagios/Makefile and see how it works

Making the packages is done inside fake directories so multiple flavours
don't conflict until they're actually installed.

So, your current system probably has
/* already built for both flavours of
the port, and you can just pkg_add (this is all 'make install' does
anyway: see for yourself with 'make -n install').

I understand this and have tried just installing the chroot package
manually also but nothing seems to be going in the right place
(/var/www/nagios is empty after adding the chrooted package). I'm doing
this in a VM so I'm reverting back to a snapshot which is just after
updating the ports tree and starting again.

What I dont understand is why the plugins dont require the chroot flavor
and how they would work with nagios chrooted. Also, what about the
dependencies such as GD and the likedo they all get chrooted
automagically too and if not, how does it work?

Is it really possible to get a full nagios implementation (inc. plugins)
chrooted?

Thanks

The plugins are not chrooted, there is no reason to do so. The main
nagios daemon runs outside of Apache's chroot, hence, so do the
plugins.

Ah. I don't have yet that much experience with ports, and didn't play with
nagios, so i'm afraid the help will have to come from someone else. All i can
help you with is that FLAVRS have to be capitalised, and you need to enter
it on every line that has a make in it ;)
