Trouble with the web interface,

What user is httpd running as?  Does that user have read access to the
status.log file?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Trouble with the web interface,
 
I'm having some trouble with the web interface, which seems to be my
only stumbling block with nagios.  I'm experienced with netsaint, but
I'm not sure what the problem is here.  I've entered in the information
correctly in my httpd.conf file.  Saying that wasn't working, I copied
my httpd.conf file from my netsaint server, re-wrote the lines to
reflect nagios, and get the same error:
The Whoops!  Errror:  Could not read host and service status
information.
 
I've done:
 
1.	Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or
status data errors. 
2.	Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line
option before starting or restarting Nagios! 
3.	Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use
the same status data storage options (i.e. text file or database). If
the main program is storing status data in a text file and the CGIs are
trying to read status data from a database, you'll have problems. 
as asked by the "Whoops!" webpage.  Nothing in the log, -v says I'm
fine.  The proccess is running, and verified as I'm getting email
alerts.  I compiled the program with the --with-template.......  option,
to use template format.  That should have compiled the cgi's to use the
same, as they are included with the main program.  
 
What's also interesting to note is that the following get the error:
Tactical
Service Detail
Status Map
Host Problems
Comments
Downtime
Proccess Info
Schedueling Queue
 
The Reporting Cgi's work fine.  And the rest give me a "you dont' have
priveledges" error.  I have disabled authentication in the cgi's, until
I get this working.  When I had it enabled with authentication in
apache, I would be prompted for a username/password, but it would never
accept them.  So I've removed .htaccess and the other access files.
 
My system is RH 7.3, vanilla.  Nagios is the first application running
on it.  Anyone have any ideas?
