newbie questions v. 2.0

[javier rojas]

Hello,

i know that probably this is a low level questions but i have read the
documentation of nagios and still have some questions...

i have created a hosts.cfg file in order to place my servers, and i
started it with a w$ 2k3 vmware virtual server on my machine.... heres
the file:

define host{
        host_name                       testserver
        alias                           test server windows
        address                         192.168.0.5
        parents
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_period                    24x7
        process_perf_data               0
        retain_nonstatus_information    0
        contact_groups                  nagios-admins
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            d,u,r
        }

here's my question:

i can resolve hte name from my mahcine of the server, i did not
created a nagios-admins group, and i have the original command.cfg
file, and when i insert in my nagios.cfg the line so it should search
for hosts on the new file i cant restart nagios and i get an error
CONFIG ERROR!  Start aborted.  Check your Nagios configuration

heres the line:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios//etc/hosts.cfg

just below object configuration file

i have checked according to the docs, the files and it's order...but i
really can't find the error, i would really like to know how to add
hosts and services to nagios...
