CGI access issues

[Mark Regensberg]

Thanks David,

I have checked the nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg files, all permissions have been
granted to the admin user (me :-)

At the moment I have the .htaccess setup with my user name, and the
following contacts.cfg file, which corresponds. The cgi.cfg file permissions
are set for the same user (markr).

<...>
# 'markr' contact definition
define contact{
	contact_name			markr
	alias				Mark Regensberg
	service_notification_period	24x7
	host_notification_period	24x7
	service_notification_options	w,u,c,r
	host_notification_options	d,u,r
	service_notification_commands	notify-by-email,notify-by-epager
	host_notification_commands
host-notify-by-email,host-notify-by-epager
	email				xxx.xxx
	pager				xxx.xxx
	}
<...>

I looked in <nagios-root>/var/rw and it was empty - I touched the file and
set the permissions, but wouldn't this only affect commands?
check_external_commands=0 at the moment.

thanks for the help,

--mark

Mark - 

I know that there are a few sections in either nagios.cfg or cgi.cfg
that define users who are to have access to the CGI interfaces...
Also - make sure that you have the commands file (and permissions) set
up properly.
This (initially empty) file should be <nagios-root>/var/rw/nagios.cmd

Hi All

I have seen this posted in the list archives, but I can't seem to find a
solution (yet)

I have Nagios v1.0b6 installed on RH Linux 7.3 running apache 1.3.23-14.


The config files have been setup as per instructions, including the
correct host groups and contact details - the auth setup in apache has
been done and seems to work on other pages.

When using the Nagios web interface, extinfo.cgi works fine, however all
other CGI's bring up "it appears as though you do not have permission
to..." etc. when run.

I have run the CGI's from the command line after exporting the
REQUEST_METHOD and REMOTE_USER, and the they work fine - but through a
browser they return the above message.
