Unexplained Opsview configuration error

Somehow I've broken by Opsview configuration, and it gives me a completely unhelpful error: critical 2010-10-12 12:09:57 Cannot reload:. It looks like there should be more info, but there's not.

I tried undoing the change I made, and then I tried restoring the previous backup, tried restarting opsview but it always says the same thing.

I've checked

• /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
• /var/log/messages
• /var/log/secure
• /var/log/opsview/opsview-web.log
• /var/log/opsview/opsviewd.log

and haven't been able to find any indication of what the problem is. Does anyone know where else I could look or have an idea what the problem could be?

From serverfault bemace

• have you tried asking at the mailing list? From experience I know you will get very good support if you ask there.

• Discovered what my problem was: opsviewd wasn't running (checked with /usr/local/nagios/bin/opsviewd status). Started with service opsview start and ran chkconfig --add opsview and everything is back to normal.
