[Nagios-users] Error: Cannot open config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg'

[<Ste...@Mi...>]

I'm trying to use several host definition files, one for each monitored
system.  I'm not using hosts.cfg.

When I try staring the nagios deamon I get an error that it can't find
hosts.cfg:

Nagios 2.0b3 starting... (PID=425)
Error: Cannot open config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg' for
reading: No such file or directory


Location of of host definition files (1 per host):
/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/<hostname>.cfg

/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg:
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts


I compiled with these options:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios \
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/nagios \
--bindir=/bin \
--sbindir=/sbin \
--libexecdir=/libexec \
--datadir=/share \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var


Thanks.
