changing location of cgi.cfg file

[Steve Ensley]

The web front end (NagiosQL) I'm configuring for use with Nagios 2
assumes the configuration is in a directory structure off /etc/nagios.
  I've gotten everything working reasonably well except, and I know
this is probably a painfully stupid question, but I cant find where to
properly tell nagios where to find the cgi.cfg file.  There doesnt
seem to be a option for it in nagios.cfg,  I tried a cfg_file=
directive for it but it choked on that on startup.  The manual refers
to the "usual" location for the cgi.cfg file but doesnt seem to
mention how to make it an unusual location.

If its in /usr/local/nagios/etc, nagios is happy but NagiosQL cant
find it unless I configure nagiosql to look for it there (I would
prefer to keep all the config files together).  If I put it in
/etc/nagios where NagiosQL would like to find it by default then
nagios starts OK but when you click on an option on the nagios web
interface it chokes with "Error: Could not open CGI config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg' for reading!"  which of course is not
where it should be looking for it.
 
I can make everything work by creating a symbolic link to
/etc/nagios/cgi.cfg in /usr/local/nagios/etc/ but that's a clumsy hack
and there is undoubtedly a proper way to change this.
