Ah, now I understand. My apologies. I missed the part where you were
upgrading and reading the emails showed errors that are very common to
first time installations.<br>
<br>
That said, all I can say is "read the log files". Quite a few issues
I've encountered were solved when consulting various log files (httpd
logs, /var/log/messages, mysql logs, etc).<br>

I recognize this may sound a little terse and I don't mean it to be
so... but as I've seen all the emails from you that are indicative of a
first time setup, might I suggest getting a Nagios book to assist you?
There's quite a few out there. I personally use Nagios 2nd Edition from
Wolfgang Barth and its proven to very valuable...<br>
<br>
Just a thought...<br>
