It's a mailing list. Everyone that wanted to see it did... ;) Generally
when you don't get a response your request is too vague, you haven't
provided enough information and asking for it is too tedious, you
haven't indicated what troubleshooting you've done and the results, it's
a FAQ or nobody has seen the problem as you describe it.

Does nagios show you logged in as the user you expect? Do you see any
errors in your HTTP error log? Is nagios restarting or reloading when
you see this notice? Is there anything consistent about when it's
happening? Those are some good starting points for troubleshooting.

There are many complaints and many solutions. 98% of the time it's user
misconfiguration. For something intermittent like you're reporting it's
likely to be something unusual and hence, hard to diagnose without more
troubleshooting on your part.

How about the nagios var directory? All those files must be readable by
your webserver. That's were the CGI's are reading the object and status
data.

Here, I've googled for you --
