Your web server's error log should tell you what the reason is. If
you're just trying to access as you've indicated above, it's not
surprising that you're seeing the error. You're probably not allowing
DirectoryIndex (and you don't want to). What happens if you click one of
the nagios links in the left pane of http://localhost/nagios?

 If you need further help, post the error from the web log, your OS
version and verify that you do not have SELinux enabled or that you have
given proper security context to the nagios CGI's.
