nagios / apache

[Jeffery P. Humes]

Philipp,

since you compiled nagios to with "--with-htmurl=/home/nagios" it would 
look here by default for "/cgi-bin", however you change that behavior 
when you put an  alias for "/" in your apache config.  Now it is looking 
for "/usr/local/nagios/share/home/nagios/cgi-bin/" because you set this 
alias.  This alias is pretty much cancelling out the "--with-htmurl" 
compile time parameter you set.

Unless you are really wanting the setup all over the place like it 
looks, There are a couple of ways to fix your problem:

1.  recompile nagios with the normal settings, since it looks like you 
are just repointing back to the default location
   


ServerName <servername.org>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/nagios/share
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.htm default.htm index.php
Options None

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


2.  setup an apache alias for /home/nagios/cgi-bin

    ScriptAlias /home/nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
         <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
            AllowOverride AuthConfig
            Options +ExecCGI
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
          </Directory>
