Of course Andy, you're right. I just looked. It's cgi.cfg which points to nagios.cfg not the other way around! Cheers, Jim p.s. and forgive me if you got this email twice. I must see if I can get gmail to reply to the list rather than the individual by default 'cos I keep forgetting. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] cgi.cfg
My guess is Nagios is trying to parse cgi.cfg as an object configuration file. IIRC, cgi.cfg should be in the same place as nagios.cfg, and NOT entered into the nagios.cfg as part of either a cfg_file or cfg_dir directive. As Jim said, it would help if you post the relevant portions of your nagios.cfg file. Andy.

I would strongly recommend that you consider installing Nagios and the plugins from the source tarball which can be found at http://www.nagios.org rather than from .rpm . The .rpm install is quite different to a source tarball install - it puts various bits of Nagios in various different directories and makes it more difficult to support. Also, it will install a version which has embedded perl enabled - something you might find you don't want in the future. If you install from source tarball, it may take you a little longer than an rpm install, but you will learn more about Nagios while you do the install, and will find that if you want to try some of the various excellent add-ons for Nagios in the future, they are easier to get working if you have done a standard install from tarball. - Take Surveys.
