Bug 1281882

Description of problem:
This also relates to check-mk-multisite and that might be a better component. I also found several other things I had to fix with check_mk to get multisite working on Centos 6.x I'll file a separate bug on them. 

rrd_path missing from configuration file  


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
check-mk-livestatus-1.2.6p9-1.el6.x86_64
check-mk-1.2.6p9-1.el6.x86_64
check-mk-multisite-1.2.6p9-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Fails out of the box. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install check-mk check-mk-multisite
2. Configure /etc/httpd/conf.d/{nagios.conf,zzz_check_mk_conf}
3. Start nagios and apache
4. browse to http://server_name/check_mk/

Actual results:
500 Server error

Expected results:


Additional info:

I believe this is b/c check_mk-multisite can integrate with PNP4Nagios which might can do rrd_tools.

Here's what I did to work around it but I'm not sure if it's the right fix as I'm not using rrd_tool.

Added rrd directory to /var/lib/check_mk
drwxr-xr-x. 2 nagios nagios 4096 Nov 13 01:55 rrd

edited /usr/share/check_mk/web/htdocs/defaults.py
added line:
rrd_path                    = '/var/lib/check_mk/rrd'

This seems to be a really old bug back from 2013 that got fixed in the upstream, not sure why it's happening now.
