Connection refused question

First - welcome the a world of wonder  (meaning nagios) .
Second - the nagios install comes with a complete set of documentation you can access via the wen 
interface .
And for your question - the file containing the definitions you are looking for is called either 
commands.cfg or misccommnd.cfg , it resides in the etc directory of the nagios installation .
most likely you'll find a command called check_http with no parameters , that is because it is going 
to the default ports , RTFM and made the modifications .

Good luck  .
