An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to Nagios Core.

This is the message I get when I try to modify any host or service. I've tried to reboot the nagios service, and reset permissions, but I keep getting this.

please advise.

Run the following commands in terminal as root and post the "reconfig.txt":

The file is attached.

I think you ran that using $> instead of &>, we're actually missing some of the output in that file, can you run that command again as :

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
./reconfigure_nagios.sh &> reconfig.txt

the new file is attached.

That file still doesn't have everything we need. It seems to be cut off after about 80 lines. Can you please send us the actual reconfig.txt file instead of a transcript of your terminal session?

what is a recommendation to get it out of centos over to a windows box?

There are lots of ways to do it. I usually use SFTP, which uses your SSH credentials (a good client is FileZilla). Another way might be to email it to yourself from the command line:

okay, let's try this again. Attached is the file.

Can you show us where you're getting this error message? The log for reconfigure_nagios.sh looks good, so the problem doesn't appear to be there.
