Frustrations w/ Nagios -- newbie

[Jonathan Jesse]

Thanks for the links.  Here is where my confusion and my frustration lies.  
Before editing any files I can view all of the pages through Nagios.  As soon 
as I make one change, I get the error about me not having permissions.  
Nothing has changed in the apache config, it is in the nagios setup
