Images using wrong path?

I've just finished doing exactly this.

To compile nagios I did
./configure ; make ; make all ; make install ; make install-init (just 
like the docs) Of course I was missing the etc directory in 
/usr/local/nagios, because the docs fail to mention that the dir won't 
exist unless you do a make install-config. Perhaps someone with access 
to change this ought to.
Next I compiled the Nagios plugins with
./configure ; make ; make install
Lastly I compiled apache 1.3.26 with
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache ; make ; make install

I put the edits from the docs into my apache config and started apache. 
When I attempt to access it via http://myservername.domain.com/nagios it 
fails. I am following the docs exactly. Here is the excerpt from my 
error_log.

[Tue Nov  5 11:11:57 2002] [error] [client 10.69.10.26] File does not 
exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/nagios
[Tue Nov  5 11:12:01 2002] [error] [client 10.69.10.26] File does not 
exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/nagios

So, now I've followed the docs to the letter, and I can't even access 
the web interface.  It would seem to me that perhaps the docs need to be 
updated with a sample config or more detailed instructions on how to get 
this going.

Could someone provide me with an apache config that is working? I'd like 
to compare a known working one against mine to see where following the 
docs has steered me wrong.

Thanks
Sean
