There must be a fatal php error. Check out your apache log, there should be error messages showing up after accessing that page. Go ahead and post them if you find them.
Thankyou for taking time to comment on my issue mguthrie
Please find below the output from the apache error.log file as requested once attempting to access the main.php page

Due to another issue i had with not being able to issue any changes via the web interface due to permissions issue i dug out a different drive and relaoded from scratch.
Followed the same guide but this time monitored the commands closely and found and issue with the the Make Install command of nagios core.
After running the command in the ubuntu forums link from above forum and then continuing with the install i now have a home screen!! YAY
Although now the backgorund of the Menu bar on the left is white with blue writing where as before it used to be black with white writing which made it much easier to read!
Hey ho onwards and upwards - start to learn a bit of nagios.
I found that the missing Snoopy.class.inc is caused by a bug in the installation. It's created, but not copied over to where it belongs. Find Snoopy.class.inc in your build tree(./html/includes/rss/extlib ) to ./share/includes/rss/extlib
