Regarding Nagios-Mysql

[VKumarasamy00 at aol.com]

Hi,
I have configured and compiled the nagios with mysql database support.And 
there are no errors after compilation.But no data is entered into the Mysql 
database tables.
And there is an error shown in the web interface which is shown as follows:

Whoops!
Error: Could not read host and service status information!
The most common cause of this error message (especially for new users), is 
the fact that Nagios is not actually running. If Nagios is indeed not running, 
this is a normal error message. It simply indicates that the CGIs could not 
obtain the current status of hosts and services that are being monitored. If 
you've just installed things, make sure you read the documentation on starting 
Nagios. 
Some other things you should check in order to resolve this error include: 
Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data 
errors. 
Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line option before 
starting or restarting Nagios! 
Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same 
status data storage options (i.e. text file or database). If the main program is 
storing status data in a text file and the CGIs are trying to read status data 
from a database, you'll have problems. 
Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running 
Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message 
to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at 
http://www.nagios.org. 
what could be the problem and how can i rectify it?
can anybody help me out?
Thanks and Regards,
Vasanth.
