problem with fresh install

[msd]

Hello, I just installed nconf for the first time following the quickstart guidelines.

The first time i accessed the page, to make sure everything is working properly i tried 'generate config' and i get this error:
-------------
Generating config:


Running tests:

Default_collector: Error generating config

Deployment not possible due to errors in configuration.

All my Nagios config files are in /etc/nagios and the nagios binary and everything else is installed under /usr/local/nagios ( i did copy the nagios bin to /var/apache2/htdocs/nconf/bin/nagios"

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure the "/var/apache2/htdocs/nconf/temp/" and "/var/apache2/htdocs/nconf/output/" folders are writable to the apache user and remove any existing files in these directories, because apache might have problems overwriting them.
