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.

What OS and version are you installing on? Are you installing from source or from a repo?

Debian 7.8 "Wheezy" from this guide http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... buntu.html not a huge linux wonk, but from my limited understanding of compiling from source, at least in theory, it should work.

Did you do all these?

Code: Select all

make install

make install-init

make install-config

make install-commandmode

I'm wondering if maybe something failed in the make install bit. Where did you find that only nagios binary that you found?
