Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

The file is present in the directory below is the output:

ll /usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 apache nagios 0 Oct 28 14:55 /usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg

Please help me in getting this problem resolved .

Currently, you're telling it that the file is a directory, and it won't process it properly.

Thank you . This helped.
