I too had been wrestling with this, and it fixed my installation.
HOWEVER: Something that might be noted for the next release, is
the following:
I accidentally added the "xedtemplate_config_file=" line to the
nagios.cfg file (brainfart). It did not complain when I did a
preflight check, but it also did not work. It _does_ work when
that line is added to cgi.cfg.
I personally would consider this a minor bug - if it's not going
to work in nagios.cfg, I think it would be useful to complain
about it during preflight check. It would have saved me a few
minutes of head-scratching, anyway. :)
If the developers don't see things this way, that's fine too.
I have no right to "demand" anything. :)
