nagios external command error

[Guillermo Padilla]

Ahh. That's my fault cut-n-paste oops is right.  There's only one file
in that dir. Here it is again:

[root at watchdog rw]# ls -al
total 12
drwxrwsr-x  2 nagios nagiocmd 4096 Jul 12 11:25 .
drwxrwxr-x  4 nagios nagios   4096 Jul 12 11:47 ..
prw-rw----  1 nagios nagiocmd    0 Jul 12 11:25 nagios.cmd

Um, what's up with that?

Is there just the one single nagios.cmd file there and there
was a cut-n-paste oops, or are there two files that _appear_
to the be same filename, but likely with spaces/control chars
in the filename of one?

> [root at watchdog rw]# grep nagios /etc/group
> nagios:x:502:
> nagiocmd:x:503:nagios,nobody

OK.

> [root at watchdog rw]# grep ^User /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
> User nobody
> UserDir public_html

OK.

> [root at watchdog rw]# grep ^Group /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
> Group #-1

I've never seen anyone use a numerical GID there, but I'm sure
it's probably valid.  Can you try changing it to:

Group nagioscmd

and restarting (actually stop, check for processes, and start)
Apache?
