Nagios config error

[hasselol]

Hi! I got a problem i havent been able to solve after i reorganized my config files (It worked before i did it).

When i restart nagios:

Code: Select all

ekonomi@ubuntu-it-lab:~$ service nagios restart
Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR!  Restart aborted.  Check your Nagios configuration.
ekonomi@ubuntu-it-lab:~$

And then when i do config check:

Code: Select all

ekonomi@ubuntu-it-lab:~$ sudo /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
