On my system, the user "www-data" (the apache web server user) is
added to the "nagios" group.  So, in the /etc/group file we have:-

nagios:x:1001:www-data

If www-data (or whichever user your Apache daemon runs as) isn't in
the 'nagios' group, you should be able to add it something like so ..

  usermod -G nagios www-data

hth,

Jim
