Hi Vu Hung,

have a look at the sample-config subdir after "make". You will find
something like
---snip---
.   README   cgi.cfg.in      nagios.cfg     resource.cfg     template-extinfo
..  cgi.cfg  default-object  nagios.cfg.in  resource.cfg.in  template-object

./default-object:
.                     contacts.cfg.in      hosts.cfg.in
..                    dependencies.cfg     misccommands.cfg
README                dependencies.cfg.in  misccommands.cfg.in
checkcommands.cfg     escalations.cfg      services.cfg
checkcommands.cfg.in  escalations.cfg.in   services.cfg.in
contactgroups.cfg     hostgroups.cfg       timeperiods.cfg
contactgroups.cfg.in  hostgroups.cfg.in    timeperiods.cfg.in
contacts.cfg          hosts.cfg

./template-extinfo:
.  ..  README  hostextinfo.cfg  serviceextinfo.cfg

./template-object:
.                     dependencies.cfg     minimal.cfg.in
..                    dependencies.cfg.in  misccommands.cfg
README                escalations.cfg      misccommands.cfg.in
checkcommands.cfg     escalations.cfg.in   services.cfg
checkcommands.cfg.in  hostgroups.cfg       services.cfg.in
contactgroups.cfg     hostgroups.cfg.in    timeperiods.cfg
contactgroups.cfg.in  hosts.cfg            timeperiods.cfg.in
contacts.cfg          hosts.cfg.in
contacts.cfg.in       minimal.cfg
---pins---

in this dir and its subdirectories. Now I see by myself, that not all those
.cfg files were copied into the etc directory with "make install-config": I
am missing hostextinfo.cfg... Well, I don't need it since my hostextinfos
are stored in MySQL, but it was nice to have, since the "hostextinfo"
entries in cgi.cfg did not work for me.

When you don't have those files, you should consider to download nagios
anew... :-)

HTH,
