Problem starting nagios

[Ginther, Demian M]

Thanks Marc.

Turns out it was because I had a cfg_dir=/etc/nagios directive in
nagios.cfg

Thanks again!

Do not list cgi.cfg as a cfg_file (or at all actually) in nagios.cfg.
The daemon doesn't need to know about it and the CGI's automagically
know about it.
