Tactical Overview is not refreshing

[Greg Vickers]

YESSSS!

Oh boy, I got it figured out. I had to configure apache with .meta files 
for each of the .cgi files. I put this line
Cache-control: no-cache
into the *.meta files to tell whatever browser is looking at the .cgi pages 
that it's not allowed to cache that page. (This also works for proxies as 
well - the proxies won't cache the page either :) )

Anyone know why my IE was caching the pages?


FYI, my config changes:

Apache httpd.conf directive
(uncomment this line) LoadModule cern_meta_module 
/usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_cern_meta.so

Apache httpd.conf directive (Directory based)
MetaFiles on

nagios:/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios# ls
avail.cgi   extinfo.cgi    nagios             showlog.cgi    statuswml.cgi 
tac.cgi
cmd.cgi     histogram.cgi  notifications.cgi  status.cgi     statuswrl.cgi 
trends.cgi
config.cgi  history.cgi    outages.cgi        statusmap.cgi  summary.cgi
