My first guess would be that your permissions are off.  However it is also
possible that you have something improper above this line, it just that it
doesn't record it until then.

    Hi guys,

I'm trying Nagios, and after set all files following the manual carefully,
I'm having troubles to start it.

I had used the template files and when I try to run
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios.cfg to check if
parameters are right I'm receiving errors:

The error is saying that has a problem on my main config (nagios.cfg) on
line 18 (the real first one because before this, it's only comments),

the line 18 is:

log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

it's exactly like this.

So, my first idea was:

create the file - doesn't work
change the owner of file (it was root for all files that are under
/usr/local/nagios/*) - doesn't work
comment the line - work until the line 30 (second line) that was
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg

I used the manual downloaded from Nagios Home page (Nagios_1_0_Docs.pdf)
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/documentation/english/Nagios
_1_0_Docs.pdf>

What I did wrong? Has anyone a tip to send me?
