Check result path is not a valid directory

[Honia A]

Hi all,

I installed Nagios on a 32-bit system (CentOS 5.3) following the directions given here: http://docs.cslabs.clarkson.edu/wiki/Install_Nagios_on_CentOS_5  

Everything went well and I ran nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg and got no errors or warnings. But when I tried to start Nagios, it failed.  
Checked the log file and it reads:

[1277993818] Error in configuration file '/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg' - Line 466 (Check result path is not a valid directory)
[1277993818] Nagios 3.2.1 starting... (PID=27996)
[1277993818] Local time is Thu Jul 01 10:16:58 EDT 2010
[1277993818] LOG VERSION: 2.0
[1277993818] Bailing out due to one or more errors encountered in the configuration files. Run Nagios from the command line with the -v option to verify your config before restarting. (PID=27996) 

Then I opened nagios.cfg file and found this: 
check_result_path=/var/nagios/spool/checkresults 

I am pretty sure it's a permission error, but can't seem to fix it. I tried the followings: 

chmod 777 /var/nagios/spool/checkresults
chown -R  nagios apache /var/nagios/spool/checkresults

./usermod nagios apache
chown -R apache:nagios checkresults 

And some more permission commands, but no luck. I would really appreciate it if someone could please help me with this. 

Thanks,

h
