Hi there. I menaged to install nagios3 + nconf with no bigger problems but then I wanted to install also nagiosgraph just to see "how it works" and half way (more or less) I accidentaly deleted cgi.cfg and and nagios.cfg files from nagios3 folder. Then I downloaded "fresh" files from packages and edited them like I did through installation process but something went wrong ;/. Nagios as serive is running but I don't have access to any functionality or w/e, apache, phpmyadmin and nconf are running without problems. Got something like this :

#################################################################
# MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE
# This tells the CGIs where to find your main configuration file.
# The CGIs will read the main and host config files for any other
# data they might need.
main_config_file=etc/nagios.cfg
# PHYSICAL HTML PATH
# This is the path where the HTML files for Nagios reside. This
# value is used to locate the logo images needed by the statusmap
# and statuswrl CGIs.
physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share
# URL HTML PATH
# This is the path portion of the URL that corresponds to the
# physical location of the Nagios HTML files (as defined above).
# This value is used by the CGIs to locate the online documentation
# and graphics. If you access the Nagios pages with an URL like
# http://www.myhost.com/nagios, this value should be '/nagios'
# (without the quotes).
url_html_path=/nagios
# CONTEXT-SENSITIVE HELP
# This option determines whether or not a context-sensitive
# help icon will be displayed for most of the CGIs.
# Values: 0 = disables context-sensitive help
# 1 = enables context-sensitive help
show_context_help=0
# PENDING STATES OPTION
# This option determines what states should be displayed in the web
# interface for hosts/services that have not yet been checked.
# Values: 0 = leave hosts/services that have not been check yet in their original state
# 1 = mark hosts/services that have not been checked yet as PENDING

nagios_check_command=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios /var/cache/nagios3/status.dat 5 '/usr/sbin/nagios'
# AUTHENTICATION USAGE
# This option controls whether or not the CGIs will use any
# authentication when displaying host and service information, as
# well as committing commands to Nagios for processing.
#
# Read the HTML documentation to learn how the authorization works!
#
# NOTE: It is a really *bad* idea to disable authorization, unless
# you plan on removing the command CGI (cmd.cgi)! Failure to do
# so will leave you wide open to kiddies messing with Nagios and
# possibly hitting you with a denial of service attack by filling up
# your drive by continuously writing to your command file!
#
# Setting this value to 0 will cause the CGIs to *not* use
# authentication (bad idea), while any other value will make them
# use the authentication functions (the default).
use_authentication=1
# x509 CERT AUTHENTICATION
# When enabled, this option allows you to use x509 cert (SSL)
# authentication in the CGIs. This is an advanced option and should
# not be enabled unless you know what you're doing.
use_ssl_authentication=0
# DEFAULT USER
# Setting this variable will define a default user name that can
# access pages without authentication. This allows people within a
# secure domain (i.e., behind a firewall) to see the current status
# without authenticating. You may want to use this to avoid basic
# authentication if you are not using a secure server since basic
# authentication transmits passwords in the clear.
#
# Important: Do not define a default username unless you are
# running a secure web server and are sure that everyone who has
# access to the CGIs has been authenticated in some manner! If you
# define this variable, anyone who has not authenticated to the web
# server will inherit all rights you assign to this user!
#default_user_name=guest
# SYSTEM/PROCESS INFORMATION ACCESS
# This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that
# have access to viewing the Nagios process information as
# provided by the Extended Information CGI (extinfo.cgi). By
# default, *no one* has access to this unless you choose to
# not use authorization. You may use an asterisk (*) to
# authorize any user who has authenticated to the web server.
authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin
# CONFIGURATION INFORMATION ACCESS
# This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that
# can view ALL configuration information (hosts, commands, etc).
# By default, users can only view configuration information
# for the hosts and services they are contacts for. You may use
# an asterisk (*) to authorize any user who has authenticated
# to the web server.
authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin
# SYSTEM/PROCESS COMMAND ACCESS
# This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that
# can issue shutdown and restart commands to Nagios via the
# command CGI (cmd.cgi). Users in this list can also change
# the program mode to active or standby. By default, *no one*
# has access to this unless you choose to not use authorization.
# You may use an asterisk (*) to authorize any user who has
# authenticated to the web server.
authorized_for_system_commands=nagiosadmin
# GLOBAL HOST/SERVICE VIEW ACCESS
# These two options are comma-delimited lists of all usernames that
# can view information for all hosts and services that are being
# monitored. By default, users can only view information
# for hosts or services that they are contacts for (unless you
# you choose to not use authorization). You may use an asterisk (*)
# to authorize any user who has authenticated to the web server.
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin

# GLOBAL HOST/SERVICE COMMAND ACCESS
# These two options are comma-delimited lists of all usernames that
# can issue host or service related commands via the command
# CGI (cmd.cgi) for all hosts and services that are being monitored.
# By default, users can only issue commands for hosts or services
# that they are contacts for (unless you you choose to not use
# authorization). You may use an asterisk (*) to authorize any
# user who has authenticated to the web server.
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin
# STATUSMAP BACKGROUND IMAGE
# This option allows you to specify an image to be used as a
# background in the statusmap CGI. It is assumed that the image
# resides in the HTML images path (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share/images).
# This path is automatically determined by appending "/images"
# to the path specified by the 'physical_html_path' directive.
# Note: The image file may be in GIF, PNG, JPEG, or GD2 format.
# However, I recommend that you convert your image to GD2 format
# (uncompressed), as this will cause less CPU load when the CGI
# generates the image.
#statusmap_background_image=smbackground.gd2
# DEFAULT STATUSMAP LAYOUT METHOD
# This option allows you to specify the default layout method
# the statusmap CGI should use for drawing hosts. If you do
# not use this option, the default is to use user-defined
# coordinates. Valid options are as follows:
# 0 = User-defined coordinates
# 1 = Depth layers
# 2 = Collapsed tree
# 3 = Balanced tree
# 4 = Circular
# 5 = Circular (Marked Up)
default_statusmap_layout=5
# DEFAULT STATUSWRL LAYOUT METHOD
# This option allows you to specify the default layout method
# the statuswrl (VRML) CGI should use for drawing hosts. If you
# do not use this option, the default is to use user-defined
# coordinates. Valid options are as follows:
# 0 = User-defined coordinates
# 2 = Collapsed tree
# 3 = Balanced tree
# 4 = Circular
default_statuswrl_layout=4
# STATUSWRL INCLUDE
# This option allows you to include your own objects in the
# generated VRML world. It is assumed that the file
# resides in the HTML path (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share).
#statuswrl_include=myworld.wrl
# PING SYNTAX
# This option determines what syntax should be used when
# attempting to ping a host from the WAP interface (using
# the statuswml CGI. You must include the full path to
# the ping binary, along with all required options. The
# $HOSTADDRESS$ macro is substituted with the address of
# the host before the command is executed.
# Please note that the syntax for the ping binary is
# notorious for being different on virtually ever *NIX
# OS and distribution, so you may have to tweak this to
# work on your system.
ping_syntax=echo -n -U -c 5 $HOSTADDRESS$
# REFRESH RATE
# This option allows you to specify the refresh rate in seconds
# of various CGIs (status, statusmap, extinfo, and outages).
refresh_rate=90
# ESCAPE HTML TAGS
# This option determines whether HTML tags in host and service
# status output is escaped in the web interface. If enabled,
# your plugin output will not be able to contain clickable links.
escape_html_tags=1
# SOUND OPTIONS
# These options allow you to specify an optional audio file
# that should be played in your browser window when there are
# problems on the network. The audio files are used only in
# the status CGI. Only the sound for the most critical problem
# will be played. Order of importance (higher to lower) is as
# follows: unreachable hosts, down hosts, critical services,
# warning services, and unknown services. If there are no
# visible problems, the sound file optionally specified by
# 'normal_sound' variable will be played.
#
#
# <varname>=<sound_file>
#
# Note: All audio files must be placed in the /media subdirectory
# under the HTML path (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share/media/).

#host_down_sound=hostdown.wav
#service_critical_sound=critical.wav
#service_warning_sound=warning.wav

# URL TARGET FRAMES
# These options determine the target frames in which notes and
# action URLs will open.
action_url_target=_blank
notes_url_target=_blank
# LOCK AUTHOR NAMES OPTION
# This option determines whether users can change the author name
# when submitting comments, scheduling downtime. If disabled, the
# author names will be locked into their contact name, as defined in Nagios.
# Values: 0 = allow editing author names
# 1 = lock author names (disallow editing)
lock_author_names=1
# SPLUNK INTEGRATION OPTIONS
# These options allow you to enable integration with Splunk
# in the web interface. If enabled, you'll be presented with
# "Splunk It" links in various places in the CGIs (log file,
# alert history, host/service detail, etc). Useful if you're
# trying to research why a particular problem occurred.
# For more information on Splunk, visit http://www.splunk.com/
# This option determines whether the Splunk integration is enabled
# Values: 0 = disable Splunk integration
# 1 = enable Splunk integration
#enable_splunk_integration=1
# This option should be the URL used to access your instance of Splunk

# NAGIOS.CFG - Sample Main Config File for Nagios
#
#
##############################################################################
# LOG FILE
# This is the main log file where service and host events are logged
# for historical purposes. This should be the first option specified
# in the config file!!!
log_file=/var/log/nagios3/nagios.log
# Commands definitions
# edited cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/commands.cfg
# Debian also defaults to using the check commands defined by the debian
# nagios-plugins package
# edited cfg_dir=/etc/nagios-plugins/config
# Debian uses by default a configuration directory where nagios3-common,
# other packages and the local admin can dump or link configuration
# files into.
# edited cfg_dir=/etc/nagios3/conf.d
# OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S)
# These are the object configuration files in which you define hosts,
# host groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc.
# You can split your object definitions across several config files
# if you wish (as shown below), or keep them all in a single config file.
# You can specify individual object config files as shown below:
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/contacts.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/timeperiods.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/templates.cfg
# Definitions for monitoring a Windows machine
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/windows.cfg
# Definitions for monitoring a router/switch
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/switch.cfg
# Definitions for monitoring a network printer
#cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/printer.cfg
# You can also tell Nagios to process all config files (with a .cfg
# extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir
# directive as shown below:
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios3/servers
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios3/printers
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios3/switches
#cfg_dir=/etc/nagios3/routers
# OBJECT CACHE FILE
# This option determines where object definitions are cached when
# Nagios starts/restarts. The CGIs read object definitions from
# this cache file (rather than looking at the object config files
# directly) in order to prevent inconsistencies that can occur
# when the config files are modified after Nagios starts.
object_cache_file=/var/cache/nagios3/objects.cache
# PRE-CACHED OBJECT FILE
# This options determines the location of the precached object file.
# If you run Nagios with the -p command line option, it will preprocess
# your object configuration file(s) and write the cached config to this
# file. You can then start Nagios with the -u option to have it read
# object definitions from this precached file, rather than the standard
# object configuration files (see the cfg_file and cfg_dir options above).
# Using a precached object file can speed up the time needed to (re)start
# the Nagios process if you've got a large and/or complex configuration.
# Read the documentation section on optimizing Nagios to find our more
# about how this feature works.
precached_object_file=/var/lib/nagios3/objects.precache
# RESOURCE FILE
# This is an optional resource file that contains $USERx$ macro
# definitions. Multiple resource files can be specified by using
# multiple resource_file definitions. The CGIs will not attempt to
# read the contents of resource files, so information that is
# considered to be sensitive (usernames, passwords, etc) can be
# defined as macros in this file and restrictive permissions (600)
# can be placed on this file.
resource_file=/etc/nagios3/resource.cfg
# STATUS FILE
# This is where the current status of all monitored services and
# hosts is stored. Its contents are read and processed by the CGIs.
# The contents of the status file are deleted every time Nagios
# restarts.
status_file=/var/cache/nagios3/status.dat
# STATUS FILE UPDATE INTERVAL
# This option determines the frequency (in seconds) that
# Nagios will periodically dump program, host, and
# service status data.
status_update_interval=10
# NAGIOS USER
# This determines the effective user that Nagios should run as.
# You can either supply a username or a UID.
nagios_user=nagios
# NAGIOS GROUP
# This determines the effective group that Nagios should run as.
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.
nagios_group=nagios
# EXTERNAL COMMAND OPTION
# This option allows you to specify whether or not Nagios should check
# for external commands (in the command file defined below). By default
# Nagios will *not* check for external commands, just to be on the
# cautious side. If you want to be able to use the CGI command interface
# you will have to enable this.
# Values: 0 = disable commands, 1 = enable commands
check_external_commands=1
# EXTERNAL COMMAND CHECK INTERVAL
# This is the interval at which Nagios should check for external commands.
# This value works of the interval_length you specify later. If you leave
# that at its default value of 60 (seconds), a value of 1 here will cause
# Nagios to check for external commands every minute. If you specify a
# number followed by an "s" (i.e. 15s), this will be interpreted to mean
# actual seconds rather than a multiple of the interval_length variable.
# Note: In addition to reading the external command file at regularly
# scheduled intervals, Nagios will also check for external commands after
# event handlers are executed.
# NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external
# command file as often as possible.
#command_check_interval=15s
command_check_interval=-1
# EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE
# This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests.
# It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are submitted
# by users, so it must be writeable by the user that the web server
# is running as (usually 'nobody'). Permissions should be set at the
# directory level instead of on the file, as the file is deleted every
# time its contents are processed.
# Debian Users: In case you didn't read README.Debian yet, _NOW_ is the
# time to do it.
command_file=/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd
# EXTERNAL COMMAND BUFFER SLOTS
# This settings is used to tweak the number of items or "slots" that
# the Nagios daemon should allocate to the buffer that holds incoming
# external commands before they are processed. As external commands
# are processed by the daemon, they are removed from the buffer.
external_command_buffer_slots=4096
# LOCK FILE
# This is the lockfile that Nagios will use to store its PID number
# in when it is running in daemon mode.
lock_file=/var/run/nagios3/nagios3.pid
# TEMP FILE
# This is a temporary file that is used as scratch space when Nagios
# updates the status log, cleans the comment file, etc. This file
# is created, used, and deleted throughout the time that Nagios is
# running.
temp_file=/var/cache/nagios3/nagios.tmp
# TEMP PATH
# This is path where Nagios can create temp files for service and
# host check results, etc.
temp_path=/tmp
# EVENT BROKER OPTIONS
# Controls what (if any) data gets sent to the event broker.
# Values: 0 = Broker nothing
# -1 = Broker everything
# <other> = See documentation
event_broker_options=-1
# EVENT BROKER MODULE(S)
# This directive is used to specify an event broker module that should
# by loaded by Nagios at startup. Use multiple directives if you want
# to load more than one module. Arguments that should be passed to
# the module at startup are seperated from the module path by a space.
#
#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
# WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING
#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#
# Do NOT overwrite modules while they are being used by Nagios or Nagios
# will crash in a fiery display of SEGFAULT glory. This is a bug/limitation
# either in dlopen(), the kernel, and/or the filesystem. And maybe Nagios...
#
# The correct/safe way of updating a module is by using one of these methods:
# 1. Shutdown Nagios, replace the module file, restart Nagios
# 2. Delete the original module file, move the new module file into place, restart Nagios
#
# Example:
#
# broker_module=<modulepath> [moduleargs]
#broker_module=/somewhere/module1.o
#broker_module=/somewhere/module2.o arg1 arg2=3 debug=0
# LOG ROTATION METHOD
# This is the log rotation method that Nagios should use to rotate
# the main log file. Values are as follows..
# n = None - don't rotate the log
# h = Hourly rotation (top of the hour)
# d = Daily rotation (midnight every day)
# w = Weekly rotation (midnight on Saturday evening)
# m = Monthly rotation (midnight last day of month)
log_rotation_method=d
# LOG ARCHIVE PATH
# This is the directory where archived (rotated) log files should be
# placed (assuming you've chosen to do log rotation).
log_archive_path=/var/log/nagios3/archives
# LOGGING OPTIONS
# If you want messages logged to the syslog facility, as well as the
# Nagios log file set this option to 1. If not, set it to 0.

# to 1.
log_event_handlers=1
# INITIAL STATES LOGGING OPTION
# If you want Nagios to log all initial host and service states to
# the main log file (the first time the service or host is checked)
# you can enable this option by setting this value to 1. If you
# are not using an external application that does long term state
# statistics reporting, you do not need to enable this option. In
# this case, set the value to 0.
log_initial_states=0
# EXTERNAL COMMANDS LOGGING OPTION
# If you don't want Nagios to log external commands, set this value
# to 0. If external commands should be logged, set this value to 1.
# Note: This option does not include logging of passive service
# checks - see the option below for controlling whether or not
# passive checks are logged.

log_passive_checks=1
# GLOBAL HOST AND SERVICE EVENT HANDLERS
# These options allow you to specify a host and service event handler
# command that is to be run for every host or service state change.
# The global event handler is executed immediately prior to the event
# handler that you have optionally specified in each host or
# service definition. The command argument is the short name of a
# command definition that you define in your host configuration file.
# Read the HTML docs for more information.
#global_host_event_handler=somecommand
#global_service_event_handler=somecommand
# SERVICE INTER-CHECK DELAY METHOD
# This is the method that Nagios should use when initially
# "spreading out" service checks when it starts monitoring. The
# default is to use smart delay calculation, which will try to
# space all service checks out evenly to minimize CPU load.
# Using the dumb setting will cause all checks to be scheduled
# at the same time (with no delay between them)! This is not a
# good thing for production, but is useful when testing the
# parallelization functionality.
# n = None - don't use any delay between checks
# d = Use a "dumb" delay of 1 second between checks
# s = Use "smart" inter-check delay calculation
# x.xx = Use an inter-check delay of x.xx seconds
service_inter_check_delay_method=s
# MAXIMUM SERVICE CHECK SPREAD
# This variable determines the timeframe (in minutes) from the
# program start time that an initial check of all services should
# be completed. Default is 30 minutes.
max_service_check_spread=30
# SERVICE CHECK INTERLEAVE FACTOR
# This variable determines how service checks are interleaved.
# Interleaving the service checks allows for a more even
# distribution of service checks and reduced load on remote
# hosts. Setting this value to 1 is equivalent to how versions
# of Nagios previous to 0.0.5 did service checks. Set this
# value to s (smart) for automatic calculation of the interleave
# factor unless you have a specific reason to change it.
# s = Use "smart" interleave factor calculation

max_host_check_spread=30
# MAXIMUM CONCURRENT SERVICE CHECKS
# This option allows you to specify the maximum number of
# service checks that can be run in parallel at any given time.
# Specifying a value of 1 for this variable essentially prevents
# any service checks from being parallelized. A value of 0
# will not restrict the number of concurrent checks that are
