See i don't get how to check it then if i'm trying to do it the piped 
way. The install guide doesn't tell me anyway to check it except by 
running ./perfparse-log2mysql -r
I want to be able to get this thing to work with oreon and well i think 
if i can get it to work ANY WAY i'll be fine.

Here's what i've done for the configs
I have no idea how to check it besides going to the 
/cgi-bin/nagios/perfparse.cgi and checking it but according the the cgi 
it still isn't working
If you could give me some idea of how i can troubleshoot errors with 
this i'd be grateful. or highlight some trouble areas. This is me trying 
to set it up in pipe mode so if u can kinda guide me into pipe mode 
config that'd be great.
