manual compile of CGIs and incorrect image/css source

Post by node-nine_inc »

Hello.

I'm likely doing something face-palm stupid here, but I'm pretty familiar with the compilation process...yet am stumped where I'm going wrong.

nagios-4.0.8. Just pulled down the latest source of this version. I need to build from source and have been building Nagios from source since back in the 1.x days, so have definitely done this many many many times before.

I'm using the following configure string:
=====

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-event-broker --localstatedir=/var/demo.foo.com --sysconfdir=/etc/demo.foo.com --infodir=/var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com/info --mandir=/var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com/man --prefix=/var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com --with-nagios-user=demo.foo.com --with-nagios-grp=apache --with-command-user=demo.foo.com --with-command-grp=apache --datarootdir=/var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com/share --with-htmurl= --with-cgiurl=/cgi-bin
=====

Everything compiles and installs just fine.

The trouble I'm having is that the CGIs are for some reason looking in their local dir (sbin) for the images and CSS files that control their page output/display as opposed to looking in the share/images and share/stylesheets dir as they should.

=====

This causes the output of all the CGIs to be garbled and missing content since none of the layout or imagery renders.

Has anyone run across this? And if so, can you please smack me upside the head with the clue bat? I'm not seeing where I'm missing what's going on.

This particular installation is on a Gentoo Linux system, but I am building entirely from source -vs- using emerge.

Could you run the following in a shell and post back the results?

Code: Select all

ll /var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com
ll /var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com/sbin

Don't have an 'll' command or alias.

Code: Select all

sdca-m5-1 ~ # ll /var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com
-bash: ll: command not found
sdca-m5-1 ~ # ll /var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com/sbin 
-bash: ll: command not found
But assuming you're looking for a long file listing, here it is. I create a separate user to run the process as.

Code: Select all

Looks like your --with-htmurl= is blank, did you try fixing that and compiling?

Whenever I fill that out, I get weird output at the completion summary for configure.

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-event-broker --localstatedir=/var/demo.foo.com --sysconfdir=/etc/demo.foo.com --infodir=/var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com/info --mandir=/var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com/man --prefix=/var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com --with-nagios-user=demo.foo.com --with-nagios-grp=apache --with-command-user=demo.foo.com --with-command-grp=apache --datarootdir=/var/www/localhost/demo.foo.com/share --with-htmurl=http://demo.foo.com --with-cgiurl=/cgi-bin
ends up outputting the following when it completes:

If I leave out the http portion, I still see weird outputs:

In the past, all my custom compile versions (from 3.x back down to 1.x) I've always left the html-url portion blank and it has worked appropriately.

Looks like this will work:

Sadly still no dice.

The CGIs still end up looking in the /cgi-bin/ location for their related .css and .png files (which is the sbin folder).

I'd even tried copying these .css and .png files to the location being referenced, but seeing as how this it the ScriptAlias cgi-bin folder, I then get errors about 'unable to execute' for these files.

Something is still amiss.

I finally read the whole bug report you linked to. Manually setting the 'url_html_path' value in cgi.cfg did the trick.

I cannot thank you enough for helping me find this!!!!!!!!! I've been pulling out my little remaining hair trying to find what option was mistaken causing the URL pathing to be incorrect.

Your linked bug-report saved the day.

Cheers mate. If you're ever out in the San Diego California area...hit me up and I owe you a couple sudsy malted hops beverages. :)
