Nagios running as normal but got cgi error?

Hi,
This is the 2nd time i'm installing Nagios 1.2 on Freebsd 5.3. I
managed to get Nagios up and running the first time but i'm facing
some perplexing problems getting it up the 2nd time.

When i try to access the cgi, I got "Error: Could not read host and
service status information!" I know that Nagios is running because
1. when i do a ps |grep nagios, i could see the process id. 
2. when i tail -f nagios.log, i can see that the hosts and service
checks are being conducted and no errors have been reported.

This leads me to think that it is a cgi problem rather than the nagios
problem. As mentioned above, i could see from the logs that nagios is
running as normal. I've also tried using the config files on the 1st
machine (which is confirmed to be working) on this 2nd machine but the
results were still the same. I've even tried re-installing Nagios.
What did i do wrong? how do i rectify the problem?

Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks a lot!
