nagios cgi config file error

[Lovell, Jay]

This is probably one that has been solved a thousand years ago, but I cannot
for the life of me figure it out.   Here's where I am.

I've installed nagios and gotten it configured in apache.   
The appropriate alias entries have been made to httpd.conf in apache
Nagios is installed in the standard location /usr/local/nagios
the main screen shows in my browser.  (nagios through apache is working)

My error is this.  Any time I click on one of the cgi-bin's I get the
following error:

Error: Could not open CGI config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg' for
reading!
What I have done so far to troubleshoot this is the following:

The config files are there in that location.  (the obvious check) 
the permissions are rw-rw-r--
they are owned by netsaint and the netsaint group
I can run the /usr/local/nagios/sbin/tac.cgi cgi program from the command
line as root and it works (returns html)
I can run the /usr/local/nagios/sbin/tac.cgi cgi program as the apache user
or the netsaint user and it works (returns html)
If I move the cgi.cfg to cgi.cfg.turned.off, I can reproduce the above error
from the command line (returns the above error)
I have an older installation of netsaint on the same box in
/usr/local/netsaint.  
 - I have compared the permissions on the netsaint directories (down to
sbin) to the nagios permissions and they are the same.
 - Netsaint cgi's work fine.   Nagios cgi's do not.   
There are no error messages on this in either nagios or apache's error logs.


When I run the cgi's through apache, they generate the above error.    

There are no answers on this in the docs or the FAQ.   I could not find any
messages on the above error using the newsgroup search tool.  Anyone have
any ideas on this?   I'm flat out stumped on this.
