Nagios 1.2 - Status Log warning

Don't know if this will help, but I was getting something similar on my
system (Debian Testing) until I figured out that this was trying to
check the nagios server state from a flat file, which I had not
configured, as my system was setup to use DB for this. The problem was a
misspelled DB password in CGI.conf
