reporting notification log issue

[Richard NAGY]

Hello Thierry,

The nagios process was probably running under the nagios user, which is 
good. Log files was owned by nagios as well. But these were probably not 
readable by the group 'other', which was the group the apache user was 
in. So apache (via CGI) could not read the files. The archives directory 
(and its files) also must be readable by apache. Log files are important 
for nagios as it use them to procuce graphs.

Hope this helps.

PS : seems you have problem with nagios.cfg. Where is it located? Does 
nagios look for this file at the right place? ( " [1088238249] Error: 
Cannot open main configuration file '/usr/local/nagios/bin/start' for 
reading! ")
