Re: feature request

Nagios already does this. I suspect you've put names in the cgi.cfg file that you don't need to... All you need to do is set up your .htaccess files properly, and make sure the .htaccess username fits the nagios username. This will allow them only to see the things that they are in a group for. The cgi.cfg allows you to give more access to certain users for certain things, but you do not need to put every user in there by any means... The documentation explains how to set all of this up... I'd suggest reading about what exactly the cgi.cfg options are for. Hopefully that'll help shed some light on things for you.

RE: Internal server error when running commands (cmd.cgi)

Apache's not giving you enough information to really determine what the problem is. Try running /usr/local/share/nagios/cgi-bin//cmd.cgi directly from a shell. You'll have to set some environment variables, but you should be able to figure those out from the HTML source and other parts of your configuration. If you still can't figure it out after you have all the enviroment variables set up, post the error message, someone will probably know what it means. ---------- Mike McClure, CCIE # 5125, CISSP # 30232 PNE Services, Inc. http://www.pneservices.com mmcclure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mobile: 913-636-5590 > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:nagios-users- > admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Neuharth > Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 6:58 PM > To: Steve Neuharth > Cc: nagios-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Internal server error when running commands > (cmd.cgi) > > So... anybody got any suggestions? > > Steve Neuharth wrote: > > I have nagios up and running (beats the pants off of BigBrother > IMHO). > > I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 and I installed nagios straight from the > ports > > collection.

Re: Internal server error when running commands (cmd.cgi)

Just FYI, when I was experiencing troubles getting Nagios running I found the exact same behavior. I was trying to debug the CGI and while the documentation implied to me I should be using HTTP POST (hence, i set the variables as such) to test, it was segfaulting. Using HTTP get, however, worked just fine. I did manage to get things working via some combination of restarting apache and Nagios, though, so I'm not sure if there was ever really a problem. I'd venture that the segfault on POST from the commandline is "normal", if not what is expected. So that's probably a bit of a red herring for you. Have you tried any other CGI's to see whether GET or POST is working with them? If you have mod_php installed it should be trivial to write up a quick script to see if variables are being passed correctly on POST so hopefully you can eliminate either your httpd or nagios as the culprit.
