NAGIOS CRITICAL - could not find status log: /var/log/nagios/status.log

[Ranga Nathan]

I have Nagios running successfully on one box and I cloned it on another. 
The second box has problems. When Nagios starts up, I see the log like 
below and the CGIs do not show the status info. The status.log file is not 
being created.  I checked permissions, nagios.cfg etc.  and everything 
seems OK. Can someone give me a handle?  I checked the config with the -v 
and it reported only warnings, none of which is related to this. Thanks 
for the help.
