Easy Guide: Installing Nconf for Nagios on Ubuntu

I've created a download directory on root

sudo mkdir download

cd download

now download the file (check latest version)

sudo wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nconf/files/nconf/1.2.6-0/nconf-1.2.6-0.tgz/download


create nconf db

mysqladmin -u root -p   create nconf

mysql -u root -p

mysql> create user nconf \g
mysql> grant usage on *.* to nconf@localhost identified by 'nconf' \g
mysql> grant all privileges on nconfdb.* to nconf@localhost \g

mysql> show databases \g







Still having a few problems setting up the password......to be continued....










Next untar the tarball

cd /var/www/html/
sudo tar zxvf /download/nconf-1.2.6-0.tgz
