Web CGIs Fail

[Stephen Evanchik]

Thanks for your input,


The Apache access log shows the CGIs running:

[04/Apr/2003:09:44:01 -0500] "GET /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all 
HTTP/1.1" 200 1701


ls -l of the nagios/sbin dir now shows:


-rwxrwxr-x    1 apache   nagios     163652 Apr  4 01:37 avail.cgi
-rwxrwxr-x    1 apache   nagios     173176 Apr  4 01:37 cmd.cgi

-rwxrwxr-x    1 apache   nagios     147540 Apr  4 01:37 trends.cgi


There is no change from when they were the nagios user. 

There is nothing in the error log.

I have a .htaccess in both the share and sbin dirs and am still successfully 
authenticated.

I still get the following error:

Error: Could not read host and service status information!




Thank you,

Stephen Evanchik
