New install - nagios-2.0b3

[Lien, Mitch]

Hi.

I have been starting nagios as follows (using your nagios directory/file path(s)):

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg &

I have only used the "-d" when starting the client agents/nrpe as a daemon.

Hope this helps.

I start it as follows:

 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

There is nothing on the command line, and also no process running, so I 
have to seek out the syslog information to find the following:

May 27 10:58:36 ns4 nagios: Nagios 2.0b3 starting... (PID=1633)
May 27 10:58:36 ns4 nagios: LOG VERSION: 2.0
May 27 10:58:36 ns4 nagios: Bailing out due to one or more errors 
encountered in the configuration files.  Run Nagios from the command 
line with the -v option to verify your config before restarting. (PID=1633)

Again, the vicious cycle begins.  Do I need any environment variables 
set for this to work???  I get the same errors from the init.script 
startup for nagios.

Any Ideas?
