I would *not* grab /usr/share/nagios or /usr/share/nagios3. That stuff is version specific. You've just overwritten some nagios 3.2.x files with nagios 3.0.x files. The stuff I transfer on a Debian nagios is: dirs="/etc/nagios3" files="/var/lib/nagios3/retention.dat /var/www/index.html" You may also want to grab /var/log/nagios3 if you want the old history. - Morty ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
