[Nagiosplug-help] Nagios Web interface serves 500 error

[Steve Woods]

Thanks for everyone's feedback.  It was suexec after all. Once I moved
nagios up two more directory levels to /var/www/vhosts/default/nagios and
got the owner of the sbin content to match the owner of the virtual host
directory it worked.

You should probably try reading the documentation for SuEXEC, which is
causing the issue, and not nagios.

I vaguely remember seeing a posting on the nagios-users list recently
on the same issue, try searching on the archives [1] there
