changing location of cgi.cfg file

[Fran=?utf-8?B?w6c=?=ois Laupretre]

Put your path in the NAGIOS_CGI_CONFIG environment variable (via apache's
setenv). Nagios looks for this variable before using the default path. Same
for NAGIOS_COMMAND_FILE. There is no way to configure it in the main
configuration file because the main cfg file is referenced from the cgi cfg
file. For a CGI, the only entry point is the cgi cfg.

Subject: [Nagios-users] changing location of cgi.cfg file


The web front end (NagiosQL) I'm configuring for use with Nagios 2 assumes
the configuration is in a directory structure off /etc/nagios.
  I've gotten everything working reasonably well except, and I know this is
probably a painfully stupid question, but I cant find where to properly tell
nagios where to find the cgi.cfg file.  There doesnt seem to be a option for
it in nagios.cfg,  I tried a cfg_file= directive for it but it choked on
that on startup.  The manual refers to the "usual" location for the cgi.cfg
file but doesnt seem to mention how to make it an unusual location.

If its in /usr/local/nagios/etc, nagios is happy but NagiosQL cant find it
unless I configure nagiosql to look for it there (I would prefer to keep all
the config files together).  If I put it in /etc/nagios where NagiosQL would
like to find it by default then nagios starts OK but when you click on an
option on the nagios web interface it chokes with "Error: Could not open CGI
config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg' for reading!"  which of course
is not where it should be looking for it.
 
I can make everything work by creating a symbolic link to
/etc/nagios/cgi.cfg in /usr/local/nagios/etc/ but that's a clumsy hack and
there is undoubtedly a proper way to change this.
