Okay. Let's start small then.
1. Do you have php installed? 2. Do you have php-mysql and the other likely php packages which may be required, installed. (rpm -qa php*) 3. Have you looked in your logs to see WHY it's not working? (what error messages are being generated) 4. Is selinux affecting your page loads? Do you have selinux enabled/disabled/permissive?
I actually posted several of these details, but for whatever reason, they didn't show up in the email when it hit the listserv.

I actually disabled it (I found that it was enabled by the person who previously installed it).
I suspect that it's a permissions issue, as index.php *does* exist in that spot. Should I perhaps chown or chmod (using Apache?)

This is your problem right here. Since you say the file exists in that location, and apache says it doesn't, it's most likely a permissions error. Who currently owns those files.

You'll need to make sure that apache can read (and possibly write) depending on what your needs are, to those files. chown and chmod are your friends here, yes.

In the NagiosQL documentation, it says to do the following:
# chown nagios.www /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd # chmod 660 /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
I do a "locate nagios.cmd", and it turns up nothing. I wasn't sure if the /var/ part of the path meant that it had to do something with the fact that my html files are in /var/www/html.

Replace www with apache, and the /usr/local/foo with path to nagios.cmd
# chmod 660 /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

This part depends on how you have nagios set up. The nagios.cmd file doesn't get created until nagios is actually running. It's the file which houses commands issued from the web front-end to nagios.
Given the last few emails it sounds like you're not overly familiar with linux. Adding nagios to that, and you're very truly jumping in at the deep end. If you survive this trial by fire you've chosen for yourself, you'll come out quite linux literate... or quite insane... Best of luck to you
:-P

My problem here turned out to be something insanely stupid.
I cp'd the .tar file to /var/www/html and untarred it, and when I did, it made nagiosQL. All my permissions were ok, it's just that nagiosQL needed to be mv'd to nagiosql (b/c it was case sensitive).
All seems to be working ok (from a Nagios point of view). Now all I need to do is mod my .ini file in NagiosQL.
Thanks again for your help, Jim.

I found it. For others with this problem:
[root@nagios-server nagios]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.5 (Final) [root@nagios-server nagios]# pwd /etc/nagios [root@nagios-server nagios]# grep nagios.cmd * -n nagios.cfg:183:command_file=/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
