Can't run some of my CGI scripts

[Greg Cazian]

Yes, check_external_commands=1 is indeed set. I have checked everything that I could possibly think of. It's strange....

I wonder if it is a bug?

Greg,

Be sure you check your nagios.cfg config file!!

You MUST have check_external_commands=1 or external commands will not 
work. 

Also, check your cgi.cfg file and be sure you have the proper user 
you have setup with .htaccess that is authorized to run external 
commands. (It appears that you already have this setup).
 
cgi.cfg:
authorized_for_all_service_commands=<.htaccess username>
authorized_for_all_host_commands=<.htaccess username>

Hope this helps,

Kenneth
