Cgi: Whoops! Could not read object configuration data!

[morms at es.com]

I hope that this question is not too obvious.... I am new to apache and
nagios.   The page comes up but I am having trouble getting the CGIs to
work in the web interface.  
I get the error:

*********
Whoops!
Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error: 

1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to
check for errors.  
2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status
data errors. 
3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the
same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or
template-based file). 

Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and
running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try
sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be
found at http://www.nagios.org.

Here are the details:
RHEL 3
httpd-2.0.46-25.ent
Nagios 2.03b

*default location/options for all installs
Cgi.cfg has:
main_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

*Nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg produces no errors

*Nagios log does not contain errors

*Http error_log does not contain errors

*Http Access_log logs [26/May/2005:09:26:13 -0600] "GET
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=
overview HTTP/1.1" 200 1121 "http://seer.corp.es.com/nagios/"
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)"

Nagios is running and alerting me for services check_ping and
check_telnet.  I'll admit that I have not read the entire manual but it
seems that by this point in the configuration the CGIs should be working
and I am unsure as to how I should proceed.  
I appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
Melinda Orms
