Help Please

[Pascal Miquet]

Thanks for your response.
I was looking to solve this trouble, and didn't find how to solve it
into the documentation.
I works very fine for me, on a RH 7.3

    That should work, but I think the docs suggest the following:
    
    - create the group nagiocmd (note that it's not 'nagioscmd')
    - add the username that Apache runs under to that group
    - 'chgrp nagiocmd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw'
    - 'chmod g+s /usr/local/nagios/var/rw'
    
    Restart nagios, and you should be good to go.  If Apache still balks, give
    it a restart, too.
