service httpd start syntax error in Oracle Linux 7.1 running Nagios 4.1.1

missing closing quote; put quote after nrdp
/nrdp">'  instead of /nrdp>'

Yes, that's correct on the machine, I had a typo on here. Still same error.

Post the script as an inline attachment.

Did you modify it?
Try sh -v /etc/init.d/httpd

Your httpd file seems to be wrong. It needs to be a shell script not a httpd.conf like configuration file.

A Directory statement as displayed in the error does not belong in the start/stop httpd management script.

Can you please post the contents of /etc/init.d/httpd?
The line configuring Nagios NRPD should not be in that file, but in httpd.conf or /etc/httpd/conf.d/nrdp.conf.

HTH,
Dan

[root@nagios ~]# sh -v /etc/init.d/httpd
<Directory "/usr/local/nrdp">
/etc/init.d/httpd: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
/etc/init.d/httpd: line 1: `<Directory "/usr/local/nrdp">'
[root@nagios ~]#

My httpd file:

<Directory "/usr/local/nrdp">
#  SSLRequireSSL
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
#  Order deny,allow
#  Deny from all
#  Allow from 127.0.0.1
#   AuthName "NRDP"
#   AuthType Basic
#   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nrdp/htpasswd.users

# Startup script for the Apache Web Server

Yup, that's a directory directive. It should not be in /etc/init.d/httpd

Okay, so do I remove the entire contents of that? Move it somewhere else?

Fantastic, thank you!
