cgi.cfg

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

My guess is Nagios is trying to parse cgi.cfg as an object configuration 
file.
IIRC, cgi.cfg should be in the same place as nagios.cfg, and NOT entered 
into the nagios.cfg as part of either a cfg_file or cfg_dir directive.

As Jim said, it would help if you post the relevant portions of your 
nagios.cfg file.
