Ah, now I understand. My apologies. I missed the part where you were upgrading and reading the emails showed errors that are very common to first time installations.

That said, all I can say is "read the log files". Quite a few issues I've encountered were solved when consulting various log files (httpd logs, /var/log/messages, mysql logs, etc).

Hi there --
Thank-you for your reply. I did indeed check out several books prior to posting my messages, and while all of them are thorough with doing a scratch installation, there were none that I read which delved deeply into doing an upgrade. The upgrade scenario is what I am involved with at this time. The purpose of this exercise is to be able to preserve the configuration, and have it available in the newer version of the Nagios application. I am hoping to avoid having to rebuild all checks from the beginning. The amount of checks that I have in place would require a great deal of time that I am hoping I will not have to commit. My previous upgrading experince, from Nagios 1.x
to Nagios 2.x was not very difficult. I am hoping to accomplish that here.

I recognize this may sound a little terse and I don't mean it to be so... but as I've seen all the emails from you that are indicative of a first time setup, might I suggest getting a Nagios book to assist you? There's quite a few out there. I personally use Nagios 2nd Edition from Wolfgang Barth and its proven to very valuable...

Just a thought...

This issue is an offshoot of the Problem in preflight check with commands.cfg.

I went ahead and copied the nagios directory from our original server to the new one. Once that was done, I did the upgrade to version 3.1.2 of nagios. The main page of the application appears without a problem. However, whenever I try to go to any one of the links from the main page, an error message similar to the one below appears
on-screen:

*Not Found*
*The requested URL /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi was not found on this server. *


I noticed that after I inserted the snippets from the nagios.conf file into the httpd.conf file, and subsequently restarted the Apache server, the following
errors appeared on-screen:

*Starting httpd: The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line* *566 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.* *[warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 583 will*
*probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.*

I have enclosed a copy of the httpd.conf file in its present version. I am at a lossas to why the error message is occurring, and I would really appreciate help on
this.
