When I install nagios and view it in my webbrowser I always get the
following failure message when I click on a link under Monitoring in the
navigation:
-----
Whoops!
Error: Could not read host and service status information!
The most common cause of this error message (especially for new users),
is the fact that Nagios is not actually running. If Nagios is indeed not
running, this is a normal error message. It simply indicates that the
CGIs could not obtain the current status of hosts and services that are
being monitored. If you've just installed things, make sure you read the
documentation on starting Nagios.
Some other things you should check in order to resolve this error
include:
1. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or
status data errors.
2. Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line
option before starting or restarting Nagios!
3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use
the same status data storage options (i.e. text file or
database). If the main program is storing status data in a text
file and the CGIs are trying to read status data from a
database, you'll have problems.
Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and
running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try
sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be
found at http://www.nagios.org.
----
After I did a:
touch /var/log/nagios/status.log
everything worked out fine.
I suggest adding the missing status.log file to the package.
Greetings, Tobias

Changes:
nagios (2:1.3-cvs.20050116-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Sean Finney:
- finally a fix for the absolute hrefs in side.html. thanks to
Erik Rossen <rossen@prolibre.com> reporting this bug 203 days
ago (closes: #260914).
- README.pgsql already contains clarifications on the conf file
defaults for connecting to RDBMSes. I updated README.mysql to be
more clear on this as well thanks to olaf for pointing out
the discrepancy a while back (closes: #282848).
- change permissions of update-nagios output to be readable by
group www-data, as it broke non-setuid cgi scripts. thanks
to Joergen Haegg <jorgen.hagg@axis.com> for finding this
problem (closes: #292293).
- mkdir /etc/$apache/conf.d, not /etc/$apache/$conf in postinst.
d'oh. actually, we shouldn't make that director at all in the
postscript, but list it as a directory in nagios-common.dirs.
Thanks to Pierre (didn't get his last name and he sent mail as root)
for this one (closes: #295345).
- make absolutely sure that /var/log/nagios/status.log is present
on the filesystem for nagios-text. thanks to
Tobias Krais <krais@bats.ch> for pointing this out (closes: #288914).
- clarification in the postinst message for when someone chooses
manual/no configuration of apache and htpasswd doesn't exist.
thanks to Jamie Wilkinson <jamie@anchor.net.au> (closes: #290243).
- added checks to prevent dpkg-statoverride from being called on
files already in the overrides database, and also removing files not
in the database.
