You don't have permission to access /nagios/cgi-bin/ on this server

[Mike Koponick]

Bob,

This appears to be a permissions problem. It sounds as if you have nagios as a member of the apache group, but are you running nagios as "nagios" (user/group) Is Apache running as "apache".

You may also want to check the directories/files to ensure they are a part of correct group/ownership. I know this may sound simple, but it has bitten me more than once.

Mike

Greets

CentOS 4.2 up to date.
SELinux is disabled
2GHz -512MB P4

Nagios installed from RPM Dag Wieers site,

nagios-2.0-0.rc2.2.el4.test.i386.rpm  
nagios-plugins-1.4.1-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm     

Web pages work fine, docs are all good. Web Interface login works fine.

Now the problem.

"You don't have permission to access /nagios/cgi-bin/ on this server"

I have googled for  few hours, lots of hits but no success, reread docs, tried 
numerous permission combos on the cgi directory which is /usr/lib/nagios/cgi 
in the RPM install. Made sure apache user is part of the nagios group and on 
and on.

Here is a tail of my web server error_log after wildly clicking the refresh 
button. Of course the log is the same using the CLI GET
