Getting to Macros from script

[Martin, Stanley G [GMG]]

If I write the old standby Hello World script using PHP, it won't run if I put it in the same directory as all the other .cgi scripts.

Errors from Apache error log
[Fri Jul 25 12:11:21 2003] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /usr/local/nagios/sbin/hello.php failed
[Fri Jul 25 12:11:21 2003] [error] [client 10.65.5.28] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/nagios/sbin/hello.php

I'm sure this is an Apache problem.  I was just trying to see if anyone else had written some custom stuff for Nagios and tried to run it from the same sbin directory.  If I don't have any luck soon, I'll try writing it in Perl and see if that works.

Thanks,

1) The Author defaults to the user logged in.  How do I get to that 
variable? 
Since Nagios uses .htaccess, it's stuffed into the CGI environment variable REMOTE_USER by the webserver and accessible by any httpd spawned process.

2) I can run my script from one of my other websites, but when I drop it 
into the ~nagios/sbin directory, I get an execution failure.  How can I 
get my script to run from under the nagios directory structure? 
This is kind of an odd question since we didn't write your script nor do we have any idea of it's requirements. All I can suggest are basic troubleshooting ideas : verify permissions are correct, try running it as the user your web server runs as, verify paths in your script are sane and check you httpd error log for clues.
