Are you seeing a specific error?

I'm not sure what you've defined so far but generally the steps are
straightforward. For the documentation links below I'll presume that
you're using 1.3. If you're using 2.x change the 1_0 to 2_0 in the links
--

- Create a host definition for the host in question. The check_command
should be something simple and designed to tell if the host is up or
not. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#host 
- Create one service definition _per service_ you want to monitor on
that host.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service
- Add the host to a hostgroup -
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#hostgroup 

For example --

# Host definition for example_host.domain.foo
define host {
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               example_host
        alias                   This is my host
        address                 the.ip.add.ress
	  check_command		  check_host_alive
}

# Service definition for PING on example_host.domain.foo
define service {
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               example_host
        service_description     PING
        contact_groups          oncall
        check_command           check_ping
}

# Service definition for CACHING on example_host.domain.foo
define service {
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               example_host
        service_description     CACHING
        contact_groups          oncall
        check_command           check_caching
}

define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  my_example_hostgroup
        alias           Wheeeeeee
        contact_groups  oncall
        members        example_host
}

I've left out the generic-host and generic-service template definitions
for brevity.
