Want to run 2 nagios on 1 machine

[David Schlecht]

Thanks for your reply, Gerhard,



Good article.



Yours was one of the first approaches I took, but I found that the
 two sets of CGIs both returned the same results, regardless of
 the config files. This leads me to belive that the CGIs might interface
 with the running nagios process.



I am running the CGIs from the command line to avoid any problems
 with Apache and vHosts.



If you're sure this approach still works, then I can pound on my
 configurations till I get it, but I suspect that it no longer works
 with one instance and multiple configurations.



Does Configure hard code the configuration paths in the CGIs?
