Nagios PHP MagpieRSS failed to parse RSS file

[katyn]

I've installed nagios 3.4.1 on several Ubuntu 12.04 servers according to Quickstart,
apache2 is listening on port 9088; php5 has been installed, in localhost, web works normally.

Then, srever0 is responsible for monitoring server1 and server2.
I've installed nrpe,define my hosts and service and check_ping commands etc.
check_nrpe on server0, nrpe daemon on server1 and server2.


command line test is ok:
nagios@server0:/usr/local/nagios/etc$ ../libexec/check_nrpe -H server1 -c check_ping
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.03 ms|rta=0.029000ms;100.000000;500.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;20;60;0

nagios@server0:/usr/local/nagios/etc$ ../libexec/check_nrpe -H server2 -c check_ping
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.02 ms|rta=0.022000ms;100.000000;500.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;20;60;0


But in web interface, server1 and server2 host status is DOWN, all defined services are UNKNOWN,
apache2 log indicates PHP MagpieRSS failed to parse RSS file:

# less /var/log/apache2/error.log

Can anyone give some advice? thx!

Can you post the command definitions for the hosts and services?

Provided that you've fixed the -C -> -c problem, and its still not working, can you show me the permissions in your libexec directory?

ll /usr/local/nagios/libexec
