QUICK START! :-)

tar xfz nagios_config-VERSION.tar.gz #the file you downloaded

cd nagiosconfig

mv nagiosconfig /www/sites/yourdomain.com/nagios_config #(move this directory off of your webroot to nagios_config (i.e. /www/sites/yourdomain.com/nagios_config)

edit common.inc.php with your favorite text editor

create the nagios_config database:

mysqladmin -uYOURUSER -pYOURPASSWORD create nagios_config  #must have create priviledges in MySQL to perform this task

mysql -uYOURUSER -pYOURPASSWORD nagios_config < /path/to/nagios_config/contrib/nagios_config.mysql #import the schema into your empty database

go to http://yourwebsite/nagios_config/install.php to import your existing config files into nagios config

Make sure your web server has permission to write to the .cfg files

Make any changes, and click Generate the Nagios Config off of the main index.php web page.  Restart nagios (kill -HUP nagios pid)

Did I miss anything?  If your install isn't working, please let me know so I can add the necessary documentation and help point you in the right direction!

Post any questions to http://groups.google.com/group/nagiosconfig

Thank you,
Chris
