***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

I'm seeing this as being related to the install issues from your other thread. I was starting to run a test install today on CentOS 5.5, and I ran into several of the same error messages as you did. I haven't pinned down the issue yet, but we'll let you know as soon as I find it.

I would appreciate a quick turn around solution for this, if possible. Thank you for your post though.

Our team could somehow made Nagios XI work (by creating postgres db by running ./B script changing permissions and owner as desired and by creating all cfg files necessary that are missing manually and by editing with the required info). Not sure if that would suffice, but then, nothing works in the config tab on the right pane, all others seem to be working fine. This is of great concern at this time.

Shall wait for your fix though.
