problems with nagios.cmd and apache 2.0.5 & above

[Drew Cullis]

I ran /usr/sbin/sestatus -v and received this bit of info from the 
output (there was more but I included only these lines). Would disabling 
SELinux solve the problem?

SELinux status:         enabled
SELinuxfs mount:        /selinux
Current mode:           enforcing
Mode from config file:  enforcing
Policy version:         18
Policy from config file:targeted
