ExecCGI is not needed here as scriptalias has you covered. Don't need
the belt AND the suspenders.

A couple other things will cause this too, like REMOTE_USER not being set.
One question here. Why aren't you using the RPMS provided for rhel
that are listed on the site? The rpms listed on the site,
dag.wieers.com repository take most of the guesswork out of setting up
nagios and apache. The only thing left to screw up are the configs. If
you're on an rpm based distribution, it's nearly ALWAYS worth using
rpms to install software.
