Giving the exact error message you see, any errors in your web server
log file and specifically what you've done so far would go a long way to
clear up the crystal ball.

The documentation is going to be more useful than the FAQ. Have you read
--

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html and
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installweb.html?

Are you using an OS that uses SELinux? If so, have you allowed
http_context to the command file?

Did you manually create nagios.cmd? If so, don't, nagios must create it.
