ok, this is right I suppose. I'm sorry I can't provide you with the complaint 'cause I installed just one time and left the server in the customer's office, so I can't connect to it anymore. > i'm changing the severity, because it's perfectly able to do so, but in > some cases it may require manual intervention before it can operate. > yes some applications still require this :) I understand, I love manual intervention ;) > it seems you may have also encountered some kind of bug in the > config file generation, but i'm not sure if that's the case or > ifit's only an after-effect of the previous problem. in any > case if you do believethere's a seperate bug about this problem, > please provideme with a littlem ore information about it and > how i can reproduce it, otherwise i'll close the bug when i > upload the package with the changes i've mentioned above. Well...I think it's not a must to add mysql-server dependencie, ppl can add it after the installation if needed, but when someone install the server and dpkg-reconfigure the package he believe that all is right configured, while it's not. As I said, the dpkg-reconfigure creates a file called database.cfg that is not included/used in any file. I had to change the nagios.cfg manually and comment out the resources.cfg and include the new database.cfg file. I think solutions, if you can reproduce the error, go from the prompt of manually check the config to write out the databse config in the resources.cfg file instead of the database.cfg. I hope my description is clear, my english surely not :) -- Bye Enrico Sentient plasmoids are a gas.
