I have a similar problem, which I just now found time to get back to 
looking into.  upsstats.cgi produces a basically correct-looking page, 
except that everywhere there apparently should be retrieved data, there 
is instead "[error: Invalid argument]".  I did the necessary webserver 
configuration to be able to call upsimage.cgi directly, and it returns a 
HTTP content-type: header followed by a PNG image containing, in yellow 
text on a white background rendered vertically from bottom to top (i.e. 
rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise) the following message:

"No host or display"


Unfortunately I can't at this moment tell you how nut was configured, 
because I lost the configured source directory in a three-disk cascade 
failure that took down my disk array.  I'll have to re-download and 
start configuration over from scratch.
