Nagios stopped working : process running, no errors, but nothing in the web server

Hi,

I've been running Nagios for months, without any problem. Today, I tried 
to restart it, as I do each time I do a change in the config files. But 
it does not want to work anymore !

- Web server always displays "Error: Could not read host and service 
status information", the same as when Nagios process is not running
- The Nagios process is running, "ps -A | grep nagios" shows a process 
(and only one)
- It answers correctly to start and stop commands (/etc/rc.d/nagios 
start|stop|status|restart on OpenSuse)
- Restarting the server did not change anything
- Of course, there are no errors in my config. Checking config is 
successful, there's nothing special in /var/log/nagios/config.err

Moreover, nagios.log does not display any error. Here's what the latest 
entries look like :

    Program Start[03-17-2009 12:05:29] Nagios 3.0.1 starting... (PID=2815)

I tried some google search and lisr archive browsing, but most of these 
errors are caused by Nagios process not starting due to a configuration 
mistake. That 's not the case for me, because the process starts, and it 
does not complain about configuration errors...

Any idea ? Are there any other log or debug files where I could have a 
look to see what's going wrong ?

Thank you in advance. Kind regards
