I presume that you are seeing this error in the web ui?
This was a suggestion from ubuntu's forums:
Fix for Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS:
We must change the group ownership of the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/ directory. First stop the Nagios service and then change the group ownership and start Nagios service again:
geekpeeknet@foo1:~$ sudo chown -R nagios:www-data /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/

Thanks - changing the group ownership of /usr/local/nagios/var/rw works!

Great! I'll be closing this thread now, but feel free to open another if you need anything in the future!
