Yup, I forgot to mention the need for your contact and contactgroups but
you're breaking down before that even comes into play. The "?" means
that your htaccess authentication isn't working properly. I made the
assumption that you were but are you being asked for a username and
password when you go to the web interface? Do you have a .htaccess file
in both the share *and* the sbin directories (sbin is most important to
this particular issue). Looking back through the thread, I see you have
it in share but no mention of it in ~nagios/sbin. This is key and is
probably the cause of your problems.
Once that's done, you'll just need to verify that you have a contact
named ' ksriniva' that is a member of the linux-admins contact_group.
