>From nagios.cfg --

# This is where the current status of all monitored services and
# hosts is stored.  Its contents are read and processed by the CGIs.
# The contentsof the status file are deleted every time Nagios
#  restarts.

status_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 

Historical data is read from var/nagios.log and var/archives/*. Can your
web server user read those files? I've never had a problem with
availability reports in the 3 or 4 years I've been using netsaint/nagios
leading me to still believe that there is something specifically wrong
with your installation or configuration.

The cgi's read nagios.cfg to determine where those files are located
(log_file and log_archive_path) so they'll use the same location as the
nagios daemon.
