Not too surprising since RPM installs can vary quite a bit depending on
the packager.

Results in Internal Server error. I don't know what your OS is but this
could be SELinux restrictions if you haven't allowed the proper context
for the Nagios sbin directory.

Run /path/to/nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg. Nagios will verify your
configuration files and report any errors.

What is the contents of this file? There isn't a nagios.conf that's part
of the standard distribution.
