NAgios Newbee

[Michael Pratt]

Well I have set all the rights to be accessible from Apache.  Right now I am in the process of installing Mandrake 9.2 and am going to install it on that to see if I get better results. I have installed the sample .cfg's and even installed Nagmin for Webmin I have enabled security also under config.cgi and configured apache as needed for this.  Even when I log in as the administrator of Nagios in the upper left hand corner of the screen I get the following:

Logged in as?

Warning: Could not read program status information!


Is there a way to set up the configs just to look at localhost only?

Or does anyone have just a localhost only configuration for these areas that they can share?

Thanks!
God Bless!

Mike

2 beer minimum!  :-P

All kidding aside, it would be helpful if you told us what troubleshooting
you have performed so far.

I cannot seem to get Nagios to work properly on RH 9.0

What is the beer minimum I need to get this to work?

All I get is this:

Error: Could not read host and service status information!

The most common cause of this error message (especially for new users), is
the fact that Nagios is not actually running. If Nagios is indeed not
running, this is a normal error message. It simply indicates that the CGIs
could not obtain the current status of hosts and services that are being
monitored. If you've just installed things, make sure you read the
documentation on starting Nagios.

Some other things you should check in order to resolve this error include:


Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data
errors.
Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line option before
starting or restarting Nagios!
Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same
status data storage options (i.e. text file or database). If the main
program is storing status data in a text file and the CGIs are trying to
read status data from a database, you'll have problems.

Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running
Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a
message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at
http://www.nagios.org.
