[users@httpd] Installing Nagios On Apache 2.0.54

[Gordon Stewart <go...@tesco.net>]

Dear List

I have installed nagios 1.13 on a develop machine that is running fedora core 4 and it works fine.  

When I installed the same packages on to my production server the cgi does not seam to work, All I get in the error logs the following:  

 (13)Permission denied: exec of '/etc/nagios/sbin/status.cgi' failed, referer: http://217.37.64.81/nagios/side.html
[Thu Mar 09 14:55:01 2006] [error] end of script headers: status.cgi, referer: http://217.37.64.81/nagios/side.html

When I run the script from the command line it works.  

I have used SUEXECGROUP but it did not seam to resolve the issues.

I believe it is an issues with Apache. Can someone point me in the right direction to getting this resolved?

Thanks

Gordon Stewart

Something that has nothing to do with your problem: /etc/ is probably
not the best place to install cgi in. You should place in /etc/ only
configuration files, and put nagios for instance in /usr/local

Maybe a stupid question but did you verify that your cgi scripts have
executable file permissions?
