Nagios Logo Issues

[Pete Shelfo]

I have played around some more.  I realized that the cgi.cfg-sample file
had no reference of the extended host information.  I copied and setup
the nagios.cfg-sample and cgi-cfg-sample in my production environment to
make sure an old command from the 1.X days is not messing things up.

Nagios fired up still without any images.  I unremarked the
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg and Nagios would
startup.  Here is the error:

Reading configuration data...

Error: Cannot open main configuration file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios/cfg' for reading!

***> The name of the main configuration file looks suspicious...

     Make sure you are specifying the name of the MAIN configuration
file on
     the command line and not the name of another configuration file.
The
     main configuration file is typically
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg'

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config
files...

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a
previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some
variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to
read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

It is odd that by adding this cfg_file statement the system tries to
look for nagios/cfg instead of nagios.cfg.  If I remark out the line the
system fires up just fine.

Sorry -- misread what you sent.  Long day here.

What didn't Nagios like?  That's a perfectly valid config line.  If it
didn't like it, either you mistyped it, there are other errors, or you 
aren't running the version of Nagios you think you are.
