Well, of course there are the basics --
	Does the file exist in the location that the check command is
looking?
	Is it readable by the user your web server runs as?

Another problem could be if you switched to using a database back-end as
part of your upgrade or the rpm you used was originally designed to use
flat file backend but you changed it to use a database backend. If so
then you'll need to use check_nagios_db.pl located in the plugins
contrib directory as your nagios check command.

Did you diff the config files between the old and new installs to see if
anything changed there?
