preflight check:
nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg

This should be clean.

The number of nagios processes will vary over time as the core process 
forks off to execute each plugin.

If you can see the html file then the "Alias" config in apache is working.

Can you see any error in the apache logs when cgi access is attempted?

Possible Issues:

1. apache does not have execute perms on cgi (normally apache and nagios 
should have a common group)

2. "ScriptAlias" section in httpd.conf is in the wrong order w/ respect to 
"Alias"


post you config and errors.

check your mailbox more often.
