Trying to get Nagios going!

[Greg Vickers]

Arrgh! This is similar the error I'm getting! I'll reiterate Warren's 
request :)

Nagios completes it's pre-flight checks (-v) all OK, then I start it 
manually and it opens the log file fine, I can browse the main web page and 
the documentation, then when I try to access any monitoring page I get this:

Error: Could not read host and service status information!

Under the reporting menu, I get the same message up to the Alert History 
link, when viola! I can see the history of what nagios has been trying to 
do (with my dummy alert monitors etc) Through the web interface I can view 
all the configuration objects that i've put in, so I know that is working.

I've checked all the config information and can't find any errors. And 
ideas about the above?

Thanks,
