Permissions Error (Could not stat() command file )

[Potter, G M (Greg)]

In the httpd.conf file there is an entry that determines the group apache runs as.  In my httpd.conf file it looks like the following:
 
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
#  . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
#    suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
#  don't use Group nobody on these systems!
#
User nobody
Group nobody

How is yours set.

As you suggested, 
I tried changing the /etc/passwd for apache so that its primary group became 'nagiocmd' and restarted Apache, didn't help, then rebooted - Just In Case - and checked everything was up and as expected, still didn't fix the problem. *sigh*
 
Thanks again.

What is apache's primary group in the /etc/passwd file.  Just because it is in the group file doesn't mean that is it's current group (I think).  I believe the process has to do a newgrp to have it's effective group changed to group nagioscmd.  It is worth a shot.
