Missing /nagios/cgi-bin/statusmap.cgi was not foun

[neworderfac33]

Good afternoon,

I installed 4.2.4 using the following document:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... edora.html

However, when trying to view the site map, I get:

Code: Select all

The requested URL /nagios/cgi-bin/statusmap.cgi was not found on this server

Surely enough, statusmap.cgi is not in the /usr/local.nagios/sbin folder.

There are MANY posts on the forum about this subject and after trawling through some of them I have found one:
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... f=7&t=9659
that includes the steps:

Code: Select all

./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd
make all
make install
make install-init
make install-config
make install-commandmode
make install-webconf

When I carried out my installation, I'm not sure if I ran the the final step.

I don't want to run everything again as this would (I suspect) wipe out my config files, but would running just make install-webconf help to resolve my issue, do you think?

Thanks

Pete

Are you actually using Fedora? If not, you might have better luck with https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=96

As far as wiping out your configs, you can just back them up first.

Good morning - looks like Fedora to me

cat /etc/os-release

NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
VERSION="7.2 (Maipo)"
ID="rhel"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VERSION_ID="7.2"
PRETTY_NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.2 (Maipo)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7.2:GA:server"
HOME_URL="https://www.redhat.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/"

REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"
REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=7.2
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7.2"
[root@mn2svlbde006su0 ~]#

Just thinking - if I hadn't run the webconf step, surely I wouldn't be able to see anything in my web interface at all..?

What is the step that actually unpacks and installs statusmap.cgi?

Cheers

I've also found this article:
http://danxlog.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/n ... apcgi.html
that contains some additional steps, but not sure if they apply to RedHat or not.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost]# ./configure
[root@localhost]# make
[root@localhost]# make-cgis
[root@localhost]# make install-cgis

Any thoughts, folks?

Cheers

That's RHEL 7.2, not Fedora. You should use the instructions at https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=96.

Fedora changes are rapid, so instructions can be very different from RHEL.

[neworderfac33]

Now I'm REALLY confused.
RHEL and Fedora are two different things?
My cat /etc/os-release command returns:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
VERSION="7.2 (Maipo)"
ID="rhel"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VERSION_ID="7.2"
PRETTY_NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.2 (Maipo)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7.2:GA:server"
HOME_URL="https://www.redhat.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/"

REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"
REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=7.2
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7.2"

which includes the terms "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server" (is this RHEL?), "Maipo" and "Fedora".

I'm not really a Linux person at all - what AM I running here?

As far as I can see (and apologies for my ignorance and/or frustration), all I'm short of is the file "statusmap.cgi" in the folder /usr/local/nagios/bin - why is it so difficult to get it in there?

There seem to be zillions of articles on the web, but none of them tell me how to do this!

Does the following help, as it indicates that I have a statusmap.c somewhere?

Code: Select all

find / -name statusmap.*
/usr/local/nagios/share/stylesheets/statusmap.css
/home/downloads/nagios-4.2.4/cgi/statusmap.c
/home/downloads/nagios-4.2.4/contrib/exfoliation/stylesheets/statusmap.css
/home/downloads/nagios-4.2.4/html/stylesheets/statusmap.css

As always, thanks for your help

Yes, Fedora and RHEL are very different. Some things will be similar or even the same. For example, they both use yum.

It's not exactly the same model, but Fedora is kinda to RHEL what Nagios Core is to Nagios XI. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (also called Maipo because people like names instead of numbers I guess) is based on Fedora 19, which is much older than the version written for the instructions you are using.

CentOS and RHEL are binary compatible, and Oracle is too (possibly to a lesser extent), but Fedora is bleeding edge. Fedora changes things all the time. Not very many people run it on servers (though some people do, of course).

The upshot of all of this is, you should use the RHEL 7 instructions at https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=96

Does that make sense?

Thanks for the info?
So, from this:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
VERSION="7.2 (Maipo)"
ID="rhel"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VERSION_ID="7.2"
PRETTY_NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.2 (Maipo)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7.2:GA:server"
HOME_URL="https://www.redhat.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/"

REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"
REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=7.2
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7.2"
[root@mn2svlbde006su0 sbin]#

You seem to infer that I'm running RHEL, but when I originally asked for the server to be built, i was told that company standards said it was going to be "RedHat 7".

I'll read the articles, but as it stands, I'm terminally bewildered!

AND - does the following help, as it indicates that I have a statusmap.c somewhere?

Code: Select all

find / -name statusmap.*
/usr/local/nagios/share/stylesheets/statusmap.css
/home/downloads/nagios-4.2.4/cgi/statusmap.c
/home/downloads/nagios-4.2.4/contrib/exfoliation/stylesheets/statusmap.css
/home/downloads/nagios-4.2.4/html/stylesheets/statusmap.css

As always, thanks for your help

RHEL stands for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Generally speaking, "7" will be the important bit, but you are running 7.2 and occasionally the .2 will matter. The current version is 7.3, so if your policy allows you could just run yum -y update and get the latest security and bug fixes (for the things installed via yum).

It looks to me that unzipping the package worked, but compiling from source did not.

If it were me, I'd just revert the snapshot (assuming you have one) and start over using https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=96 but it's probably safe to just run through the compile steps again. It only takes like five minutes to compile. Just parsing the steps in the document with all the different versions is the hardest part!

I'm going to concede defeat and edit main.php (like I did with 4.0.8 because I couldn't get it to work there either!) to remove any reference to the site map - what people don't know about, they won't worry about.

Plus I spent days getting NagiosGraph to work with 4.2.4 and I don't want to risk messing it up by reinstalling Core.

I've spent days on this (again) and to be honest I'm thoroughly cheesed off with it

But nevertheless, thanks for all your assistance.

Pete
