I'm trying to setup a new Xymon server.  This is only my second time doing
this and the last time was years ago, so I'm probably missing something
obvious.

I have the big grid of status messages running on /xymon.html now.
However, if I click on one of the icons the browser will download a file
instead of displaying detailed status info.  As an example, I clicked on
/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=<hostname>&SERVICE=ldap and it just downloaded
a file named svcstatus.sh.

I'm betting I missed a setting in my Apache 2.4 configuration.  Can anyone
offer suggestions?

Sorry, but this wasn't a xymon issue after all.  For Apache, my httpd.conf
had the mod_cgi line commented out.  I have no idea why, but once I
uncommented it and restarted Apache this issue no longer existed.

Thanks for your patience.  Hopefully my experience will save someone else
from banging their head against a wall.

Jaime,


No problem, that's what we're here for. This was actually a fairly common
issue a while back, as the equivalent of "AddHandler cgi-script .sh"
sometimes needed to be added, depending on how the distro configured
apache by default and where people put things.

The opposite problem occasionally happened too where the HTML man pages
for .cgi's would attempt to be executed instead of sent.


Regards,
