However, the CGI's do use a hardcoded path (look in common/locations.h) for where to find the cgi.cfg. For multiple instances of CGI's, you can either re-configure and remake every time, or use a patch that I made and sent out to the list previously. It takes advantage of environment variables you can set in the httpd.conf for each set/location of CGI's. If anyone wants, I can go back and repost the email I wrote and the patch. -Russell Louie Cagasan wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE cite="mid:1034298823.5419.7.camel@expedient.skycablenet.com" type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Jim, I've checked all the cfg files and there isn't any item pointing to any of the cgi files. So that's out. And like I said, when copying a statusmap.cgi from another instance/folder to the new one and run the new instance, I get the error message where it's pointing to the "other" directory. Incidentally, how do you do a strings command? hehe Louie On Fri, 2002-10-11 at 04:25, Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] wrote: </PRE> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">I might be missing something here, but I'm reasonably certain that the binaries don't have any pathnames to config files hardcoded. Having said that, the only reason I can see that this 3rd instance would fail, is that the config file you're specifying on startup still has the pathname to the 'original' directory. Try to grep through the config files for this 3rd instance, for any occurrences of the 'original' directory. Failing that, do a 'strings' command on each of the binaries and grep for the 'original' directory. I suspect you won't find the pathnames hardcoded. :) As you mention in another e-mail, I'd be surprised if the gd libraries can't 'support' 3 instances of Nagios. jc </PRE> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">-----Original Message----- From: Louie Cagasan [<A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="mailto:fireant@zpdee.net">mailto:firreant@zpdee.net</A>] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 8:52 AM To: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] Cc: <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</A>; <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:freddy_frouin@fluxus.net">freddy_frouin@fluxus.net</A>; <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:eljalforja@skycablenet.com">eljalforja@skycablenet.com</A>; <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:juvs@skycablenet.com">juvs@skycablenet.com</A>; <A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:agattud@skycablenet.com">agattud@skycablenet.com</A> Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Multiple nagios monitors in one machine Hi Jim and Freddy, I tried doing that by copying the missing cgi files statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and hi stogram.cgi but when I ran that instance of nagios and click on the statusmap, it says it can't find the ORIGINAL directory these cgi files were originally compiled for. so it won't work. As for Freddy's comments, what I did was treat every installation like a new installation: deleting the source tree then getting the files from the tarball but apparently, it can't locate the gd libraries for these 3 cgi files from /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib and /usr/include and /usr/local/include. But the thing is: if it can't locate the gd library, why was I able to install it in the first place? Go figure... Would Ethan Galstad have an answer for this you think?
