I Did not do make command-mode during the Install, Is this what the problem may be?

No Matter, I went through the documentation again.
Went back to the installation process and included the following:

1…/configure --with-command-group=nagcmd
make install

Sorry Heres the rest of it…

  1. ./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd (Previously was nagios)
  2. make install-commandmode
  3. Took out all the trailing / from the previous script alias added to httpd.conf e.g /usr/local/nagios/share/ to /usr/local/nagios/share
  4. restarted apache

Cheers

and that fixed it?
Nothing that you did, should have affected your problem, since it appears it was the permissions on your .cfg files in /etc. Those files are not created by the install.
