CGI Error

[Josh]

The only thing that is different between this new
install and and install on a previously working Nagios
is the OS version.

I previously had Nagios 1.2 running on a RedHat 9 box.
This new install (Nagios 2.0) is on a RedHat ES4
machine.

Just to sum up... in case a light flicks on... Nagios
starts without errors.  ../bin/nagios -v nagios.cfg
returns 0 errors. The CGIs can see the cgi.cfg file (A
test: renaming cgi.cfg results in a different error
that says it can't find the config file).. so no
problems reading the configs.

Still get the "Error: Could not read object
configuration data!".

In fact, I tried installing 1.2 on the ES4 machine and
get the following error: "Error: Could not read host
and service status information!".  In this case, there
were also no errors reported and nagios is running.

I'll test Nagios 2.0 on an old RH9 box shortly.  Has
anyone else been successful on installing Either
version of Nagios on an RedHat ES3 or ES4 machine?
