Cgi.cfg file NOT being read from the same dir as nagios.cfg

Can someone please tell me why nagios would read the cgi.cfg file from /usr/local/nagios/etc when I have all my config files in /etc/nagios and I specifically start nagios with “nagios /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg”. The documents specifically state that nagios will read the cgi.cfg file from the same directory as the nagios.cfg file. Thanks.
