problem starting nagios

[Jeff Bilder]

Hello,

I seem to be having a problem starting nagios.  It all has to do with the status.log file.  Everytime I start nagios it cannot find any hosts/services due to the fact that it did not create a status.log file.  While nagios is running in the background, I did a "touch status.log"  as well as "chown nagios:nagios status.log"  and "chmod 644 status.log"  then I did a "kill -HUP nagios.pid"  It then proceeded to change status.log to status.sav.  The contents of the file are as follows:

# Nagios 1.0b6 Retention File
CREATED: 1037290939
PROGRAM: 1;1;1;1;0;0;1;0
HOST: FS1;1;1037289573;1;10;3158;0;1037287387;1;1;1;0;1;1;1;1037287387;(No output!)
SERVICE: FS1;Ping;2;1037289573;0;0;0;0;3158;0;0;1;1;1;1;0;1;1;1;1;1037287387;(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)



The service keeps on running though.  I looked into the nagios.log file and it says that everything is running fine.  This is the only error message that I have found to show up.  The nagios service starts just fine.  Would anyone happen to know exactly why this would be happening?  Thanks!

- Jeff
