You just tested the configuration of nagios. To start it run either the 
startscript in /etc/init.d, or if it does not exists with the same 
command replacing the -v with -d. That should start nagios, and start 
also the output on the webpage.

Note, that the startup-time for nagios is depending on the number of 
tests to be done and the time between two successive tests.

Success.
