I installed Nagios from Dag Wieers’ RPMForge site
[quote][joliver@mda-services4 ~]$ rpm -q nagios
nagios-3.2.0-1.el5.rf[/quote]
When I try to start it:
[quote][joliver@mda-services4 ~]$ sudo /etc/init.d/nagios start
Starting nagios:CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.[/quote]
But:
[quote][joliver@mda-services4 ~]$ ls -la /var/log/nagios/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 nagios nagios 4096 Nov 9 12:49 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Nov 9 12:49 …
drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Aug 27 06:35 archives[/quote]
And:
[quote][joliver@mda-services4 ~]$ sudo /usr/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check[/quote]
So, how do I find what it’s unhappy about, with no logs and a manual check that indicates no problems?
it’s probably some permission issue.
