I cam across the same error once.  If there was a nagios process
running, kill it.  If there is a $INSTALLPATH/var/rw/nagios.cmd file,
delete it.  Next, start nagios with the /etc/rc.d/init/nagios script.
Then try the request again.  If does the same thing. try chmodddddding
the $INSTALLPATH/var/rw/nagios.cmd file for something like 777, then
work it backwards from there.

FYI, 

I have just built up a clean install of Redhat 8, and Nagios1.0 
I have got Authentication setup and working ok (I can view cgi's),
however I am unable to send commands from the Web Pages to Nagios
(Scheduling Checks etc.) 

I am recieving the error 

  Error: Could not stat() command file

  The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running,
and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands. 

  An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for
processing. 
:( 

If possible I would suggest you backup the config CGI's (hosts services
etc) and start over, it seems to be easier than troubleshooting. 

Chris... yup another Chris.

Another interesting tibit, I tired disabling use_authentication and 
setting up a default user, but I still get the same issues. 

        Thanks 
        Chris

My httpasswd.users file and everything is setup totally correctly and 
use_authentication=1 is set.  I have also tried setting all the 
authorized_for's = * but to no avail.  From the sounds of it, it looks 
like this might be an issue with RH8.0 or Apache 2.0.40 that ships 
default with RH8.0.  Is there anyone on this list that has Nagios 
working on RH8.0? 

        Thanks, 
        Chris
