Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Hi Guys,
I have a fresh install of CactiEZ running on CentOS 6.3. This came with Nagios pre installed.
Once I have logged into Nagios, and clicked a link on the left (Any Link) I get the following error.
Code: Select all
Whoops!
Error: Could not read object configuration data!
Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:
Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.
Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this issue and get started with Nagios.
Thanks guys.

Yes, please run the config verification tool and post the results back here:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

This is what I get.
Code: Select all
[root@cacti ~]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
-bash: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios: No such file or directory

hmmm. Looks like cacti does not install nagios binaries to the default location.

Yes, so you will need to find the nagios bin file and verify the config file against it as showed above.
