I realize that I was very vague in my problem description so I'll add to try
and clarify my problem.

here are my config files cgi.cfg. all 4 database entries in cgi.cfg and
resource.cfg
are filled out just like the example below ....

# Note: If you use the mysql or pgsql nagios build, read
# /usr/share/doc/nagios-common/README.Debian what todo to let nagios
# CGI scripts detect nagios state.

nagios_check_command=/etc/nagios/nagios_check_db

xcddb_host=localhost
#xcddb_port=
xcddb_database=nagios
xcddb_username=root
xcddb_password=XXXXX

# DB DOWNTIME DATA (Read-Only For CGIs)
# Note: These config directives are only used if you compiled
# in database support for downtime data!
# The user you specify here only needs SELECT privileges on the
# 'hostdowntime', and 'servicedowntime' tables in the database,
# as these values are only used by the CGIs.  The core program
# will read the directives you specify in a resource file.

xdddb_host=localhost
#xdddb_port=
xdddb_database=nagios
xdddb_username=root
xdddb_password=XXXXX

tsicsweb2:/etc/nagios# ls -l /var/run/nagios/nagios.cmd

Little webmin snipit to show the pids match

Basically it looks like the cgi's can't get the process status but I've done
everything I know, plus all the
workarounds I've found on the net.

I followed this doc verbatim
