I did have the path's wrong.  I changed them and now I get the correct 
icon, with the correct link when I hover over it, but when I click on 
it, and get an error (with the Ninja iframe) saying /etc/pnp/index.php 
cannot be found.  I have the following in my config file:-

/**
  * Web path to Pnp4nagios
  * If installed, change path below or set to false if not
  */
$config['pnp4nagios_path'] = '/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata';

/**
*       File system path to where PNP keeps the perfdata rrd and xml files
*       Only used if 'pnp4nagios_path' !== false
*/
$config['pnp4nagios_config_path'] = '/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/config.php';

Something must be wrong though!  I have restarted Nagios since making 
the config changes.

I'll keep an eye on your website then and see what appears.  I'd live to 
be able to help with this, but unfortunately I wouldn't even know where 
to start!

Thanks
