Fresh install, but the .sh files are trying to download instad of execute 🔗 link

Been banging my head for a couple of hours, so thought I would post.

I've built a Xymon 4.3.0 rpm for Mandriva.  Installed it on a fresh
clean install of Corporate Server 4. But I can't get any of the cgi-bin
files to execute - they attempt to download, and download nothing.  In
my error_log I get:
[Fri Feb 20 17:46:07 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.3 (Mandriva
Linux/WORKER-1.4.20060mlcs4) configured -- resuming normal operations
[Fri Feb 20 17:46:19 2009] [notice] child pid 28818 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

If I try to download the file, it is zero length.  wget just gets
miffed.  Nothing shows up in access_log.

So, I know I'm dealing with a really easy apache problem, but I'm out of
clues.  I've tried using SetHandler and AddHandler.  Might I be missing
a package?  Or???

[mcdonalddj at attritive conf]$ rpm -qa | grep apache
apache-base-2.2.3-1.4.20060mlcs4
apache-mpm-worker-2.2.3-1.4.20060mlcs4
apache-mod_suexec-2.2.3-1mlcs4
apache-modules-2.2.3-1.4.20060mlcs4
apache-conf-2.2.3-1.1.20060mlcs4


My production machine isn't using mpm-worker, having been upgraded a
half dozen times from mandrake 8.2 to current, so there is all sorts of
cruftiness that makes it hard to compare.

Hi Dan,

I presume you've added the relevant lines to your httpd.conf as per 
[hobbit install dir]/server/www/help/install.html?

Yes, I think.  Not certain what in particular you are referring to, but there is an apache config that declares the cgi-bin directories to be +ExecCGI.  I don't know if I have the SetHandler or AddHandler statements correct, though....

Looks like the apache-conf package for mandriva doesn't set up properly
for apache-MPM.  When I turned off mod_cgi and added mod_cgid it started
working properly.

If anyone would like my specfile and patch for mandriva CS4, let me
know.  I changed a lot of filenames to xymon to follow the Mandriva
naming spec.

Hey Everyone,

This is the second Ubuntu server I have set up with Hobbit 4.2 and  Postfix as the SMTP server and the first one had no issues but this  second one is having trouble.

If I telnet to the server and send an e-mail manually it works with no  problems but what is appearing in the notifications.log shows that it  is generating the alert but no e-mail is sent according to the postfix  logs.  I can see the manual e-mail in the postfix logs but nothing  from the hobbit alerts.

Any ideas of what I can check?

It is using the 'mail' command to send mail, but so is the other  Ubuntu box and it sends just fine.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Have you tried using 'mail' on the non-working box to send a message
yourself? It would seem that there may be a misconfiguration on your
'mail' command.

Just a thought.

Regards,

Carl

Run the 'mailq' command on the server that you are having issues on and see if it's just queued up for some reason.

No, there is nothing in the queue.  I don't ever see any evidence of  
the mail ever reaching postfix.

Thanks,

You could start with su'ing to the hobbit user, then trying:

$ mail [your email address]
Subject: Test
[blank line]
ctrl-D
$

That should lead to you getting an email from your hobbit user. If you don't, then your "mail" command is not configured correctly for your hobbit user.
