> Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or

> errors. 
> Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line

> 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
