Both errors indicate that Nagios isn't running. The correct way to start
Nagios is using the init script but if you need to start it from the
command line it's '/path/to/nagios -d /path/to/nagios.cfg'. You should
check your config for errors first by running '/path/to/nagios -v
/path/to/nagios.cfg' as errors will prevent the daemon from starting as
well.
