Hi all


I have complied the nagios the same way the document say's
i am able to get the first page but when i click on any link it gives the
forrlowing error please help me out 



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:

   1. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status
data errors.
   2. Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line option
before starting or restarting Nagios!
   3. 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
