Hi Mike:

I'd recommend the following:
1. verify servicextinfo-apan file is in correct/consistent location. =
Both
apan config directives and cgi.cfg directives should point to the same =
file.
 i.e.
apanconf.defs:=20
# File with Apan's serviceextinfo-definitions
EXTINFOFILE=3D<whatever>/servicextinfo-apan.cfg

And cgi.cfg:=20
xedtemplate_config_file=3D<whatever>/servicextinfo-apan.cfg

2. Make sure user nagios can read said file
   chown -R :nagios <whatever>
   chmod -R g=3Drwx  <whatever>

3. If the apanconf.def location was different than the cgi.cfg location,
make sure the file generated by apan is in the true location. Restart =
Nagios
if you had to change any of these settings.

Good luck!

Greg King
