As far as I know the cgis only interface to the files generated by 
nagios. These file paths are hard-coded in the cgi binaries, which means 
that you have to compile (at least the cgis) with a different configuration.

(You could also try patching them :-)

Try a command like
'strings -n 6 /usr/local/nagios2/sbin/tac.cgi | grep status\\.dat'
using your local path to the cgis, of course. You'll see the status data 
file path is compiled into the cgi binary.
