Dear list readers - I am somewhat new to nagios, but i have had a pretty good experience in building, installing, and configuring nagios to this point. I have built 2.7 on a Fedora Core 6 box - patched to the latest revs of all rpms. I am experiencing two issues, which i am having trouble getting around. The first issue, and probably the most concerning is that whenever i define the cgi.cfg in nagios.cfg and run nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg it fails complaining about the first unremarked line in the file - so, i remark that one out, and rerun the check and again it complains about the next unremarked line - this continues until the entire file is remarked out. Now i have checked and i dont define any of the items in the cgi.cfg anywhere else, and i dont define that file more than once. I am really confused why it keeps failing, and why i cannot define things like the authentication in the file (using the sample cgi.cfg to start with). The second issue is alerts, that i am not receiving from nagios. I need to look at this a little more closely, but after installing nagiosweb to make the configuration files a little easier for a jr admin to understand and configure - i havent gotten any alerts - and i DO have 1 system not pingable, etc, so i should be getting 'some' Anyway i would appreciate any thoughts on the cgi.cfg problem Thank you in advance Michael Weiner
