Yes, I even used 2 other browsers (I use Chrome, I tested IE and FF).

Try checking the file /usr/local/nagios/share/config.inc.php (or the equivalent if you installed nagios somewhere else). There should be several file paths listed in there; see if they're correct. If everything still looks fine but the problem persists, try stopping nagios, deleting /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat, and starting nagios again.

My Nagios is doing the same thing. I just upgraded from 3.2.3 to 3.4.1; the home page says:
NagiosĀ® Coreā¢
Version 3.4.1
May 11, 2012
Check for updates
A new version of Nagios Core is available!
Visit nagios.org to download Nagios 3.3.1.

Bravely defying the warning at the top of the file, I was able to replace the info{} stanza in retention.dat with:
Code: Select all
info {
created=1339697308
version=3.4.1
last_update_check=0
update_available=0
update_uid=0
last_version=
new_version=
}
Which resolved the problem without losing all the retained status information.
