CGI permissions make me mad also! HELP!!!!

[Rick_Blair at fws.gov]

I really feel like I am spinning my wheels here.

I reinstalled the OS (redhat 7.3) on a test box twice and reinstalled 
nagios on that test box.

I have used config files (*.cfg) that I know have worked in the past 
because I had this thing running for 5 months without a problem.

During my reinstalls I have gone through the Nagios documentation step by 
step and everything I have seems fine.

I have seen different postings in different places on the web with the 
same problem and no one seems to have a fix for these people.  I have also 
been contacted by someone who had the same problem which was never fixed.

Is there any way to turn logging on for the cgi scripts?  I keep getting 
this "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information 
for any of the hosts you requested." but there is absolutely no logging 
available telling me why I get this error.

That certainly looks like all the right stuff to me. 
I'm a relatively new user to Nagios, so I don't know all the little 
pitfalls..
If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

If you want to check permissions.. all my files are owned by nagios:daemon 
(I
compiled nagios to use the daemon group instead of its own custom group).
Config files and logs are mode 0644, directories and executables are 0755, 
and
the nagios.cmd file is 2660.
