Nagios Core don't work on my PC

I want to try Nagios.

I tred to install it on my CentOS 5.6 based PC, but without results. - I cannot access to the Nagios's webpage.

So I fresh installed CentOS 6.3 and followed the step by step guide http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... rom-source

The result is that I cannot see the Nagios's webpage.


So I tred to use my own brain ;) and typed "service httpd status" and I saw that the httpd service is stopped :D

Please have mercy of newbies like me: In the PDF, in the middle of the page 2, after
"/etc/init.d/nagios start"
please add
"service httpd start"

... and on the top of page 3, after
"chkconfig --level 35 nagios on"
please add
"chkconfig --level 35 httpd on"

Hi Acik,
for the newbies, nagios gonna test their patience and skills... the documentation on nagios.org is the next test. (i am planning to meet the Nagios team in their office and start contributing to the documentation. at times i believe - "they kept the documentation like this just for verifying the correct nagios admins :) .. )
believe me i was fighting with Nagios Core install on ubuntu for two weeks and it seemed no issues and all simple, but still it was not working..

and, now, your nagios core is working or any issues? what u get when u try to access the web UI? any error page??
when u access the
http://localhost, what happens?? it returns the apache's "It works" page??
