hi,

I got a prob during installation;

sudo vim /etc/nagios3/cgi.cfg

result: sudo: vim: command not found

why?

[JROCK20041]

@arepix You need to install VIM. You can use any other text editor if you like. If you want VIM then do sudo apt-get install vim

[JROCK20041]

I have the default ones and I uncommented out the repositories except the one for the CD. then I did an apt-get update then the apt-get install nagios3

@breauxman

okay, figured it out.

hmm...did you have to make any changes to a firewall or the iptables? I cannot access the web gui on the server from my workstation, but I can ping the box from my workstation.

@arepix Vim may not be installed or be corrupt. Try using nano instead vim. sudo nano /etc/nagios3/cgi.cfg

@hwb0014 nagios is free open-source, zenoss have a big pricetag for small home systems or small buisness
