Your apache error logs would probably point this out but it's going to
be looking for something like
http://localhost/usr/local/nagios/share/main.html, which unless you've
done something really strange with your apache config isn't going to
work. You probably want something more like --

./check_http -H localhost -a nagios:nagios -u /main.html

Also, if you're not using name based vhosts, then you should use the -I
option instead of -H.

./check_http --help for more.
