Being this machine is behind a proxy, I want you to take a look at this: http://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.php/Nagios_XI:FAQs#Problems_Using_Nagios_XI_With_Proxies Additionally, you may be missing the following package, and you'll have to figure out how to get it installed through your proxy. php...
