Re: [Nagios-users] suddenly, cgi stopped working...
hello, in cgi.cfg has the following line : nagios_check_command=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios /var/cache/nagios3/status.dat 5 '/usr/sbin/nagios3' i created a link between /var/cache/nagios3/status.dat and /var/lib/nagios3/status.dat but it still doesnt work...

Where that is depends on how you installed Nagios, but is specified in nagios.cfg, the status_file= directive. In a default install from tarballs it will be /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat . Check if it exists and what the ownership/permissions are. It should be readable by your apache daemon. I would stop nagios:- /etc/init.d/nagios stop Then verify the config:- /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg Then check there are no nagios processes running (using ps), then start Nagios again:- /etc/init.d/nagios start It's always best to verify the config before restarting or reloading the Nagios daemon. I hope that gives you some pointers.
