CGI permissions make me mad!

[Rick_Blair at fws.gov]

Here is something I have tried on my own.

# su - nagios
$ export REQUEST_METHOD=GET
$ export REMOTE_USER=rblair
$ export QUERY_STRING="?hostgroup=all&style=summary"
$ /usr/local/nagios/lib/cgi/status.cgi > /tmp/output.html

This produces the proper html code that I can load into a browser.

I then changed apache to allow logins and did the same steps up above as 
'su - apache'.
The cgi generated the error!
I do not understand this however since I have made all ownership 
nagios:apache and even added apache to nagios group.

Does this make sense to anyone?

While not ideal, have you tried opening up permissions on things?

a `chmod -R 777 /path/to/cgis /path/to/nagios` isn't something you'd
want to leave live, but it'll at least "fix" the problem enough to let
you know if it's a file permissions problem
