Thanks all for the help, nagios is now running and web interface working 
fine :), for fixing the web interface i just copy paste the ..

*

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
    Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
.
.
again from the nagios docs into httpd.conf and wola web issues fixed. onely one issue remains and ie is something
when i stop nagios it gives me error saying...


*/etc/rc.d/rc.nagios stop
Stopping network monitor: nagios
Waiting for nagios to exit .head: cannot open 
`/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock' for reading: No such file or directory
.
.
when even though it stops the nagios process, why the hell sometime the 
stopping script can't find nagios.lock file.
Before stopping I do confirmed that there is a 
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock file but still it something can't find it.

Does things changed from 2.0b2 to 2.0b6, on b2 i had hmm three processes 
of nagios running at a time and now on b6 its a single process.

Secondly nagios logs all the activities in /var/log/message is there a 
way to tell nagios to use separate file for logging?

Thanks and Regards,

Askar Ali
