Nagios Support Forum

Hi. After rebooting the nagos server I get this message: Starting nagios:CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios configuration.
And all the changes I've done through the web interface.
How is it possible??

Can you post the output of Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Write Config Files > Check Config Files Go

david,

All of those services contain single quotes, you'll need to remove the single quotes from the in the Core Config Manager and then hit Apply Configuration.

Ok, I did it, but a pity it doesn't give any warning before!

Duly noted. I will update the Switch wizard to escape these quotes. Thanks for the heads up!
