Internal server error when running commands (cmd.cgi)

[mmcclure at pneservices.com]

Apache's not giving you enough information to really determine what the
problem is.

Try running /usr/local/share/nagios/cgi-bin//cmd.cgi directly from a
shell.  You'll have to set some environment variables, but you should be
able to figure those out from the HTML source and other parts of your
configuration.

If you still can't figure it out after you have all the enviroment
variables set up, post the error message, someone will probably know
what it means.
