nagios.cmd Permissions and External Commands

[Daniel Szortyka]

Hi,

First you have to look your cgi.cfg and verify the users that have
permission to acess this files.

After you have to set the nagios.cmd with apache:nagios (or
nagios:apache) I dont remember...

But first try to change the nagios.cmd permissions, if the error
continue verify your cgi.cfg

Try this...
