Look in our install file(s) for nagvis integration or snmp traps.

Just to give you a bit of insight to our network, we push all of our external HTTP traffic through our proxy servers.
Whilst the config in the proxy pac file (used for Windows clients & servers) does automatically omit the localhost and internal traffic, our *nix servers have their proxy settings configured manually.
During the upgrade, it appears that the script uses wget to pull the config files back (/usr/local/nagios/etc/import/____.cfg) from the localhost which would timeout when trying to access via the proxy.

Thanks so much for your help, hopefully this will go some way to helping anyone else in the same situation (whether it be the same problem as what I had or what spasq01 had.
If you could enlighten me a little on what software you use to configure this and perhaps a bit on how it's configured. If I had to guess I'd say you are using an HTTP proxy, VS socks, and you were setting http_proxy in /etc/profile or some where?

In that case I'm a bit confused as to how apache managed to pick up this config too?

Yes, I've manually added http_proxy="<proxy address:port>" set in the config file /etc/profile and I've left the /etc/wgetrc file alone (although I'm sure wget uses environment variables for this too so its a bit of a moot point).
