I set the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw directory to 777 and it works fine... Obviously i don't want to have to do that. So for some reason httpd either isn't executing the cgi script as nobody... or the nagiocmd group that has nobody in it isn't working right... /John John McGowan wrote: <blockquote cite="mid426FE04C.3020807@lynch2.com" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> John McGowan wrote: <blockquote cite="mid426FDE2B.9060608@lynch2.com" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> Marc Powell wrote: <blockquote cite="midA7B0A9F02975A74A845FE85D0B95B8FA6A0B57@misex01.ena.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">-----Original Message----- From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net</a> [<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="mailto:nagios-users">mailto:nagios-users</a>- <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:admin@lists.sourceforge.net">admin@lists.sourceforge.net</a>] On Behalf Of John McGowan Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 11:57 AM To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] External Commands not working </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> [snip] </pre> </blockquote> The error I'm seeing is in the browser... <blockquote cite="midA7B0A9F02975A74A845FE85D0B95B8FA6A0B57@misex01.ena.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Everything else looks fine with the exception of the possible need for a hard restart of apache. </pre> </blockquote> That's a shame, because I did a hard restart and it's still not working...

I am getting a different error in the browser... it's not complaining about the "stat" failing, it's complaining about not being able to open the file.... Still doesn't make sense to me, i've been staring at these permissions for a couple days now, and I don't understand why it wouldn't work. Just incase it helps I'm using httpd-2.0.52 /John <blockquote cite="mid426FDE2B.9060608@lynch2.com" type="cite"> <blockquote cite="midA7B0A9F02975A74A845FE85D0B95B8FA6A0B57@misex01.ena.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tell us your software development plans!
