hostextinfo being ignored

[carole verdon]

I added in my cgi.cfg this line:
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/HostExtInfo.cfg

But nagios don't take into account. I think that it's due to the fact 
that i configured nagios to put extented information in a database.

For the path of logos, i modified it the NagMIN Module Config as you 
tell me. Now, it's ok.

For the changes in 'Host Extended Information' table of Nagmin, even 
after click on 'activate' button, the modifications that i have made 
don't take into account.

For example, i deleted the template that i created in 'Host Extented 
Template' table. Then, i modified the 'Host Extended Information' table 
and click on 'activate' button. If i edit the 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/HostExtInfo.cfg, i see that the template (named 
'linux') is always present:
