You just tested the configuration of nagios. To start it run either the startscript in /etc/init.d, or if it does not exists with the same command replacing the -v with -d. That should start nagios, and start also the output on the webpage. Note, that the startup-time for nagios is depending on the number of tests to be done and the time between two successive tests. Success. -- Herman Grootaers -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
