Hi there,
I've followed the directions to install Nagios at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... edora.html
Installed nagios-4.0.2 and nagios-plugins-1.5 on Fedora 19
Everything goes well and the /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg reveals no errors, but when I try to start nagios service it fails:
Dec 05 08:14:10 localhost.localdomain nagios[7788]: wproc: Registry request: name=Core Worker 7793;pid=7793

I've tried to work this out from other posts such as http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... lsb#p75758 but the modified /etc/init.d/nagios file suggested does not work for me (gets error at line 80 - something to do with daemon)
I'm pretty new to Linux so I'm not sure where to go from here.

Most of those script fixes were for ubuntu/debian derivatives. Is the error you quoted from before you made the changes to the init script or afterwards?

Come to the Dark Side.
No the "Failed to start LSB" error was immediately after the Fedora quick start install.
Then I researched this on the forum and found the reference to the /etc/init.d/nagios file and decided to try this, which resulted in the Daemon error, so I have now reverted to the original /etc/init.d/nagios file.
I wanted to make sure you had a mail server installed - Nagios needs it for sending notifications. Anyway, I will install nagios-4.0.2 and nagios-plugins-1.5 on Fedora 19 on my test box and try to recreate the issue, and find a possible solution. It may take some time.

That is kind, thank you. I wish you success in finding the same problem!!!!
