Have you tried running the nagios check command as specified in cgi.cfg
by hand, as the httpd user? It could be a permissions problem (httpd not
able to read status.log or something similar). Also, if you are storing
status data in a database you'll need to use check_nagios_db which is in
the plugins contrib directory I believe.
