Trying Nagios for the First Time

[Mark Dalton]

I would suggest first:
    /usr/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

This will check all of your configuration files, if those are not setup 
correctly
then you nagios will not start up.  -v option will not start nagios, but 
it will
check your configuration files.
