Problem starting Nagios

[John Oliver]

I installed Nagios from Dag Wieers' RPMForge site

    [joliver at mda-services4 ~]$ rpm -q nagios
    nagios-3.2.0-1.el5.rf



When I try to start it:

    [joliver at mda-services4 ~]$ sudo /etc/init.d/nagios start
    Starting nagios:CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios
configuration.



But:

    [joliver at mda-services4 ~]$ ls -la /var/log/nagios/
    total 24
    drwxr-xr-x 3 nagios nagios 4096 Nov 9 12:49 .
    drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Nov 9 12:49 ..
    drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Aug 27 06:35 archives



And:

    [joliver at mda-services4 ~]$ sudo /usr/bin/nagios -v
/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

    Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the
pre-flight check



So, how do I find what it's unhappy about, with no logs and a manual
check that indicates no problems?
