I think your CGIs have not been built yet! other way to check is #cd /your/nagios/source/cgi on my machine i do # cd /usr/local/src/nagios-2.9/cgi Then do # file tac.cgi It should give you something like tac.cgi: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped See the last two words? now when i go to the nagios install directory, #cd /usr/local/nagios/sbin and then do #file tac.cgi I get tac.cgi: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped Here it says "stripped". Strip basically removes all symbols from the executable so that it cant be reverse engineered. So when it says format not recognized, it means that your cgis have not been built yet. <div class="moz-signature">Regards, Shiv </div> Toto Carpaccio said the following: <blockquote cite="mid:619cf3c0707250240n1766d6fcv36df41180c241b7a@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">Hi all, I am trying to install nagios 1.4.1 on a debian system.
