***> 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.

If I put the # back
root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/nagios/etc# service nagios reload

But the Nagios Core Home Page still shows RED X NOT RUNNING



Issue Three
Other problem with my browsers from the Main Home Page not matter which menu Item I choose example under current status I select HOSTS the display is all unreadable characters



So

1. Nagios Home Page shows RED X NOT RUNNING

2. Removing # from Nagios.cfg file causes Nagios to fail to start

3. Nagios Home page bad output when displaying any element

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Update

Just upgraded to Nagios 4.1.1 Plugins 2.1.1

Same results as above.

Need help

Thanks

New Note

I am now able to update the Nagios.cfg I was able to remove the # and now the reload works.

just can not browse the page Thoughts

The plugins do not have anything to do with Nagios Core itself.

This error leaps out at me and I'm not sure I see anything that addresses it: Can you post that file?

Usually we see that with copy+paste mixups in the configs, from an open "define" line or mismatched curly brace.

I got it working now

Was not Nagios it was Apache2

To get rid of the Red X Not running message and the CGI pages not working to work

Had to run this

sudo a2enmod cgi
sudo service apache2 restart


Thanks

Thank you for sharing the fix with us! Is there anything else we can do for you, or is this one all right to lock up?

Yes all good problem solved
