[HowTo] Setup Nagios

FeG Wrote:Hi keffer,

as you've already quoted:

keffer Wrote: 1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.
3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).

It would be helpful, if you try out these suggestions:

1. Have a look at the configuration files...

Code:

nagios2 -v /etc/nagios2/nagios.cfg

2. Try to open nagios so that the error appears and then look into:

Code:

tail /var/log/nagios2/nagios.log

3. Is the nagios daemon running?

Code:

ps axxfu | grep nagios

If you don't find a solution this way, post the tail of nagios.log here...

Greetings,
FeG
