External Command File Error

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there -

I completed the installation of the Nagios 3.1.2 application onto our CentOS 5.3
server. Everything appears
to be working fine with one noticeable exception: If I go to the host
information page of any host, and select
Schedule a check of all services on the host, and subsequently click on commit,
I get the following error:

Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for
update!

The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect. 
Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions. 

An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.

I went through and verified the following:

1. The nagios user account has the bash shell.
2. The permissions on the nagios directory, and its subdirectories are as
follows:
	user:group ownership 	= nagios:nagios
	permissions		= rwxrwxrwx

What did I miss here, and what can I do to correct it? Thanks.
