Nagios core GUI/UI fails to open after nagios-4.4.6-4 to 4.4.9-1 update on Rhel8

Question

Nagios core GUI/UI fails to open after nagios-4.4.6-4 to 4.4.9-1 update on Rhel8 vm.

Whoops! Error: Could not read host and service status information!

Nothing in /var/log/nagios/nagios.log.

/sbin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg doesn't report any errors.

Is the service running (error message suggests it is not)? Can you try to start it by hand, not with the service manager, and see what it prints to a shell? — Nikita Kipriyanov, Apr 04 '23 at 05:26
Nagios is running but it takes several seconds to start, before update it started in a few seconds. — LinServFaulter, Apr 05 '23 at 01:18
Then, while it is running like that, do you still have the described problem? — Nikita Kipriyanov, Apr 05 '23 at 03:44

Did you try this solution from Nagios forum ? : https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49019#p254150

Apache does not know the location of the cgi.cfg since it's not in the default location as expected by Nagios. Added env var NAGIOS_CGI_CONFIG with the new location.
