Hi Izz,
These can now be included in the actual host/service definitions (or  
better yet, their templates).  'hostextinfo' and 'serviceextinfo' are  
no longer necessary but are still supported as of now.  It is now just  
a style decision.

Hi Rick,
Did you compile this from source?  What version of nagios are you  
running?  It is obvious from the logs that the CGI is looking for  
something that does not exist.  My idea of the problem might be that  
you are, pointing 'vrml_image' or another such script url in the  
configs to the nonexistant location.  Which could be from an error in  
how Nagios was originally configured.

The vrml should not be able to run from your desktop as it needs to  
communicate with the CGI to read the relative host relationships from  
the Nagios server.

Good luck.
