Within the host definition that begins on line 175 of localhost.cfg.
It'll be the line that begins with 'max_check_attempts' and ends with an
invalid value ;) Probably starts out like --

define host {
	host_name	localhosts
	...
	max_check_attempts	<something wrong here>
}

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host will help
you with what should be there.

You've got to give us more than that it you seriously want help. When
troubleshooting, specific error messages are usually the most important
piece of information you could provide. Configuration information and
specific actions you've taken to resolve the problem are a close second.
Also, you're likely to find very useful error information in your web
server's error logs. Finally, review the documentation on configuring
your web server here --
