Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I've just installed the NRDP agent on an Ubuntu Server running Nagios Core v4.3.2. I've set the Token in the config file and verified that it works when navigating to http://myserver/nrdp and clicking Submit Command. The server responds with a nice message and even performs the default DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS task when I provide a valid host name. The issue is when I try to test the Submit Check Data. If I don't provide a token, I get a nice message letting me know that no token was provided. However, if I provide the token that I've configured in the server to accept, I receive an HTTP 500 error. I've enabled debug logging in apache but don't see any messages that would point me to an issue. All the permissions to the various folders look correct.

Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

Thanks

It could be selinux preventing the write, you may want to check if it is enabled.

Also, you may want to check the apache error log to see what was causing the 500 error

Hi,

thanks for the reply. SELinux is not installed and the apache logs don't provide any additional details on the 500 error even with debug mode logging turned on.

Can you posts your apache config file for nrdp.conf

I believe it is using a version for older systems

<Directory "/usr/local/nrdp">
# SSLRequireSSL
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
# AuthName "NRDP"
# AuthType Basic
# AuthUserFile /usr/local/nrdp/htpasswd.users
# Require valid-user
Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /nrdp "/usr/local/nrdp/server"

I don't have an option for "Require all granted"

Comment that out and see if that works? then restart apache Here's what mine looks like, and I'm able to use NRDP just fine.

tried commenting that line out and restarting.

Result: 403 Forbidden on the entire /nrdp page.

I did a little bit of research and updated my nrdp.conf file to more closely match the config file Nagios uses. It didn't fix the issue, but it looks a lot cleaner.

<Directory "/usr/local/nrdp">
Options None
AllowOverride None
<IfVersion >= 2.3>
<RequireAll>
Require all granted
</RequireAll>
</IfVersion>
<IfVersion < 2.3>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfVersion>
</Directory>

Different configurations for different versions are partially documented here: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/upgrading.html

You really need something like this

thanks


I had that and it didn't resolve the problem.

This is a tough one to figure out.
