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.

I am experiencing two issues, which i am having trouble getting around. The

It would help greatly if you could post the relevant portion of your
nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg files, and the exact error you get when you run
"nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg".
I would strongly recommend that you consider installing Nagios and the
plugins from the source tarball which can be found at
http://www.nagios.org rather than from .rpm . The .rpm install is
quite different to a source tarball install - it puts various bits of
Nagios in various different directories and makes it more difficult to
support. Also, it will install a version which has embedded perl
enabled - something you might find you don't want in the future.
If you install from source tarball, it may take you a little longer
than an rpm install, but you will learn more about Nagios while you do
the install, and will find that if you want to try some of the various
excellent add-ons for Nagios in the future, they are easier to get
working if you have done a standard install from tarball.
