Your host definition for server1 is missing a lot of the the required directives. Take a look at the link below for the needed directives, add them in and nagios should start.

You would have to look in the log files in the /var/log folder but from an earlier post, is shows that selinux is enabled on the server and that is probably the issue.
Disable selinux on the server and see if it starts for you.
