Nagios Support Forum

Resolution was to use nagios 4.0.0 from source instead of 3.5.1 from yum...

[/etc/nagios]# ls -Z -rw-rw-r-- nagios nagios ? cgi.cfg drwxr-x--- nagios nagios ? conf.d -rw-rw-r-- nagios nagios ? nagios.cfg -rw-r--r-- nagios na...

Hadn't used nginx for cgis before...

All packages: nagios, nginx were installed using yum.

apache was also installed automatically with php-fpm, but it's not running and not used... nginx serves all the dynamic and static content
