[My first attempt went out without a subject somehow; sorry] Hi, I have a fedora27 system with nagios-4.3.4-3.fc27.x86_64 and httpd-2.4.33-5.fc27.x86_64 and am receiving the following error when trying to check the status through the web interface. I've even tried to remove the httpd.conf and nagios.conf config files then reinstalling httpd and nagios. I don't believe I've made any other changes from the default system.

In order to do that, you need to set the REQUEST_METHOD environment variable to either "GET", "HEAD", or "POST". When using the GET and HEAD methods, arguments can be passed to the CGI by setting the "QUERY_STRING" environment variable. If you're using the POST method, data is read from standard input. Also of note: if you've enabled authentication in the CGIs, you must set the "REMOTE_USER" environment variable to be the name of the user you're "authenticated" as. I've done a bit of searching, and it appears apache thinks the cgi files are scripts and not executables. How can I configure apache to interpret these files properly? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
