I use full paths when ever checking this kind of thing.  That being
said,  looking at the output, you have "//" for your path to nagios.cfg
 
Try using the full paths to your config file.

Reading configuration data...

Error: Cannot open main configuration file '//nagios.cfg' for reading!

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config
files... 

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a
previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some
variables/definitions 
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to
read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
 
 
it has to be a permission issue on the nagios.cfg file her are my
permission :
 
> ls -l
total 80
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios nagios  9577 Sep 29 19:30 cgi.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios nagios  8579 Sep 29 18:46 commands.cfg
-rw-r--r--  1 root   root      26 Sep 29 19:28 htpasswd.users 
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios nagios 12469 Sep 29 18:46 localhost.cfg
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios nagios 31134 Oct  1 13:45 nagios.cfg
-rw-rw----  1 nagios nagios  1338 Sep 29 18:46 resource.cfg
 
 
i restarted my apache and because the file cant be ready getting host
down on the local host obiusly this has to do with my problem above 
 
also i may add i renamed the files from nagios.cfg-sample to nagios.cfg
to all .cfg-sample files 
 
 
thanks for help in advance
