On my system, CGI scripts have filenames that give away the content type (e.g. scripts ending with .pl), and binary files had .cgi or no suffix (apparently some binaries may use a .bin suffix). It may not be required, but makes managing things more obvious to me. Without doing anything fancy, and admittedly on an old version of Apache, it seems to just run what it finds in the CGI directory (much the the same way the command line will run scripts and binaries without you having to do anything special). A common problem with webserving is people not setting up the cgi-bin directory to be a CGI binary directory, and the server just tries to load the files as plain files. Though you'd expect to just see garbage in the web browser, much the the same as if you'd used the "less" command to view a binary file. I'm not familar with nagios. Have you tried just testing the default CGI examples that come with Apache? Also check your file permissions, and that SELinux is not interfering. Generally, if you create or install your scripts into the usual locations for cgi-bin, it will work. But if you move a file from one place to the cgi-bin directory, it'll have the security contexts of the prior location, and execution will be denied. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.15.17-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 12 18:28:26 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
