apache: cgi links lead to a "you have chosen to open foo.cgi", although scriptalias is set
- by Xiong Chiamiov
Following this guide on CentOS 5.2, just getting nagios set up for the first time. The main page shows up just fine, but when I try to view any of the pages that should be generated by a cgi process, firefox prompts me to save the .cgi instead, so apache's obviously not understanding that it needs to run the cgi and get back some html from it.
The odd thing is, though, that, as far as I can tell, apache should be running these files as cgi. nagios.conf:
# SAMPLE CONFIG SNIPPETS FOR APACHE WEB SERVER
# Last Modified: 11-26-2005
#
# This file contains examples of entries that need
# to be incorporated into your Apache web server
# configuration file. Customize the paths, etc. as
# needed to fit your system.
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi/"
# SSLRequireSSL
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
Alias /nagios "/usr/share/nagios/"
# SSLRequireSSL
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
Require valid-use
Either the ScriptAlias directive or ExecCGI option should be triggering this, but neither of them seems to have any effect.
This config file is being parsed by apache, because if I move it out of conf.d, /nagios gives a 404.
The .cgi files are indeed in the /nagios/cgi-bin/ directory, so I didn't specify the incorrect directory.
Searching seemed to only provide people who had difficulty with permissions, which is not the issue here. This seems to me to be a pretty basic thing, but even with the excellent apache documentation, I'm at a bit of a loss (been using cherokee too much lately :) ).
