Carlo,

Assuming you have $USER1$ set to /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/, then you need to
change that command_line to:

>         command_line    $USER1$/contrib/check_apache.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$

Regardless, I think this plugin isn't going to do what you want - it's very
old, and doesn't work against Apache 2.x, which is the default on CentOS 5.  If
you think checking via mod_status is really what you want/need, then someone
updated this script a while ago to work with 2.x:

...are you really just looking to make sure your local Apache instance is
alive?  Have you tried check_http?

Out of curiosity - which rpm are you using and from where?

Cheers,
