Correct path is /apps/apache-httpd/ not /apps/apache-http/

Did you configure this when building nagios, such as ./configure --webdir=/apps/apache-httpd/nagios/ ? That likely is not a correct config option, but if you are not going to use the standards that configure and make expect, gcc and make will not create your cgi's and nagios binaries correctly. At this point I can only assume you wish to use that directory instead of /var/www or wherever it may currently be in ubuntu land, is this thought correct?
Nagios-Plugins maintainer exclusively, unless you have other C language bugs with open-source nagios projects, then I am happy to help! Please pm or use other communication to alert me to issues as I no longer track the forum.

We are looking for the location of your apache vhost files, as we need to copy the nagios vhost file into it.

Code: Select all

ls -la  /apps/apache-httpd/conf.d/
