Upgraded NetSaint to Nagios 1.1 - trouble in paradise!

[Charles V. Boehnlein]

Daaaa... I found the upgrade instructions in the 1.2 tar.
 
I'll let the group know if I locate my problem or if the upgrade fixes it.
 
Thanks,
Charles

Jan I installed 1.1 because I took the easy way out, it was included with the Mandrake CD set. Now it seems the easy way out isn't so easy. I have noticed that there have been several bug fixes put out for version 1.1 already and I am behind 1 version with 1.2 being out.
 
Can you direct me to the documentation on upgrading nagios?
If it was in rpm format I think I would just use rpm -u but if I compile it from a tar file I am not sure how to upgrade VS removing 1.1 manually and doing a fresh install.
 
I have the check-host-alive already defined in my checkcommands.cfg and I have the command in all of my host definitions but it still doesn't work.
 
The log files don't show any problems but it sure is broke.
 
Thanks,
Charles

For the Host try entering check_host_alive and in the checkcommands.cfg 
define check_host_alive as:

define command{
command_name check-host-alive
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% 
-c 5000.0,100% -p 1
}

This is how it works with 1.2 (why did you upgrade to an old version?)
