cgi's not working

[Cassandra Pugh]

Ok, so I disabled SELinux, and all of a sudden, everything works fine.

SELinux = the bane of my existence.  So thanks Marc for mentioning SELinux.

I just installed Nagios 2.9 and when I get up to the web portion, I get my
page up, the documentation shows up, but when I click on various cgis on the
sidebar, I get the whoops message :

now,
1 - I have verified the config options by using the command line procedure,
and it comes back 0 warnings, 0 errors.

2- Nagios log shows nagios starting just fine. I have verified it is running,
I see logs that tell me things are being monitored, I get emails if stuff
goes down, etc. I just cannot see the web interface.

#3 I am not so sure about?  I just ran the make files as the documentation
states, so I don't see why this would not be correct?


" Whoops!

Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for
errors.
2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data
errors.
3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same
object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).

Presuming you followed the manual on configuring the web interface and
that all is ok there. Are there any errors in your web server logs? Does
your web server have permission to read /path/to/nagios/var and
/path/to/nagios/etc?

Do you have SELinux enabled and if so, verified that there are no errors
there?

1. That won't check for errors in your cgi.cfg, which sounds like it's
not configured correctly.

2. Yep, that matches up with a borked cgi.cfg, too.

3. Check your cgi.cfg file. :)  Also, make sure that those config files
have proper permissions for your webserver user to read them.
