Re: [monit-dev] monitrc doesnt exist

[pierrick grasland]

Hello,

I encounter this problem to on debian, so I don't think it's from the packaging.

IMHO it's from how monit search the config file.

Monit -t seems to search all default locations (including /etc/monit/monitrc in my case), but monit doesn't search his config file by default in /etc/monit/monitrc

So you can have a valid monitrc with monit -t, but no monitrc found when you launch monit.

Try:

   strace monit

That may give you a better clue as to what file it's trying to open and
what's happening when it does.

Could also try: monit -c /path/to/monitrc

If you built from someone else's RPM file, you may find the config file is
somewhere else (e.g. /etc/monit.conf)

HTH,

Brian.
