Hi,

Check your nagios.cfg file and the log file path.

log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

and also check the permission of nagios directory it should be.

chown   -R nagios.nagcmd /usr/local/nagios
chmod  -R  775 /usr/local/nagios/

And then try to restart your nagios :-

/etc/init.d/nagios restart

and update me if still you are getting problem ........
