Nagios has key configuration files in <installpath>/etc. Look at the nagios.cfg file in that directory as it specifies the paths to most of the other config files. The default is /usr/local/nagios/ - just change that to what you want.

You may also need to modify cgi.cfg for relevant directories.

We run the default /usr/local/nagios here so haven't done the above - just wanted to point out the files to you.
