cgi-bin directory is not found under nagios.

[rashmi]

i cant find cgi-bin directory under nagios and hence accessing the link nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=28 from browser gives error message as below :


Whoops!

Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.
Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org.


However i have configured the nagio's and it was working all this days now all of sudden i have this error message. when i checked for logs of /var/log/message

i see that nagios has thrown error message as

Jun 26 22:01:45 linux-c4rx nagios: Warning: The check of host '9292_OV_planner' looks like it was orphaned (results never came back). I'm scheduling an immediate check of the host...

hence i tried to below steps:

linux-c4rx:~ # service nagios stop
Stopping nagios: kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
done.
linux-c4rx:~ # killall -9 nagios
linux-c4rx:~ # service nagios start
Starting nagios: done.

even then i have same problem. could you please guide me to fix the issue and help me to get nagios working again ?

Setting aside cgi-bin for a moment, have you tried to verify your configs yet? It did not appear as though you did, what is the output of:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Use the above if you installed on RHEL/CENTOS, if not, you will need to change the directories to those of the nagios bin and nagios config file.

This is the output of i see on executing the config file


linux-c4rx:~ # /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

What OS and version are you running on?
Is there another website running on the server? Anything else that might mess with the httpd configs?
