bgplg, as distributed, needs chrooted httpd (it looks for /bin/ping which is really /var/www/bin/ping with chrooted httpd - but the system binary is in /sbin/ping so without the chroot it will fail). If you don't chroot httpd, either chroot it (probably the better option) or arrange things so bgplg can find a suitable binary in /bin. If that's not it, carefully double-check permissions on the ping/traceroute binaries (as mentioned in the manual), they must be executable by the user running the webserver. N.B. you have to do this every time you upgrade the OS.
