Fernando:

Maybe if you replace the second "bin" to a "etc" it works (CFG files are
normally located at /usr/local/nagios/etc directory). Or it was a mistype?

HTH,

    Hi guys,

I'm trying Nagios, and after set all files following the manual carefully,
I'm having troubles to start it.

I had used the template files and when I try to run
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios.cfg to check if
parameters are right I'm receiving errors:

The error is saying that has a problem on my main config (nagios.cfg) on
line 18 (the real first one because before this, it's only comments),

the line 18 is:

log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

it's exactly like this.

So, my first idea was:

create the file - doesn't work
change the owner of file (it was root for all files that are under
/usr/local/nagios/*) - doesn't work
comment the line - work until the line 30 (second line) that was
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg

I used the manual downloaded from Nagios Home page (Nagios_1_0_Docs.pdf)
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/documentation/english/Nagios
_1_0_Docs.pdf>

What I did wrong? Has anyone a tip to send me?

Best Regards,
Fernando Gomes
