<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have installed nagios 2.7 from source using the following tarball nagios-2.7.tar.gz and using the exact instructions from the attached "installation document" I donwloaded from <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://nagios.org/" target="_blank">
nagios.org</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>even the <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><strong>
<em>/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg </em></strong></span>was not throwing any errors or warnings.</div></div>
<div> </div>
<div>After installing this I tried installing the Nagios plugins from source tarball i.e. nagios-plugins-1.4.5.tar.gz</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But it was throwing errors as in the attachment. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So while I was in the /root/nagiosinstall directory itself, I copied the nagios plugins rpms and also the dependent rpms and installed them successfully with -Uvh option.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i.e. nagios-plugins-1.4.5-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm and </div>
<div>perl-Crypt-DES-2.05-3.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm<br>perl-Net-SNMP-5.2.0-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm<br>perl-Socket6-0.19-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm<br> </div>
<div>Problem 1: the Nagios web interface and nagios.log still complains that plugins are not installed although its installed </div>
<div> </div>
<div># rpm -qav | grep nagios-plugin<br>nagios-plugins-1.4.5-1.el4.rf<br> </div>

<div>problem 2:why are the files <em>hosts.cfg, services.cfg</em> not created automatically and also these entries are commented out in<em> nagios.cfg </em>file</div>
<div><em></em> </div>
<div><em>cgi.cfg htpasswd.users nagios.cfg resource.cfg<br>commands.cfg localhost.cfg nagios-server.conf</em></div>
<div><em><br></em> are the only ones that are created.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Looking forward for your help eagerly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance.</div>
