Excellent. It’s working. Nice tutorial, simple to follow.
Next step, make database with mysql to use nagios. Any “tutos” on that? :)

ar-lock,

I agree completely, where possible the package should be used, however sometimes you need features that aren’t compiled into the package, other times it’s easier to install from source than perform a dist-upgrade!

Thanks for visiting,

Matt.

In debian, its better practice to install the debian package, as opposed to compiling from source.

there is a package for nagios2 in the repository and currently you can find an Intrepid backport in the ppa’s …

soon nagios 3 will be in the repository.

Glad to hear it worked.

I’ve noticed on a few systems recently that make doesn’t get installed by default when you install build-essential, I’ve updated the post to reflect this.

This worked perfectly, I had to install the ‘make’ package (big deal) … I’m a debian ‘noob’ and managed to get this all running with no issues.

THANKYOU!
