Hmm. So far, the only way I've been able to reproduce this is by replacing
the ScriptAlias directives with mere Alias's in the xymon.conf apache
config.

Has there been any change in the path you've used for the CGI directory
since the previous version, or is there any chance that another Alias line

is taking precedence over the ScriptAlias?

Do you see anything in the apache access/error logs that indicates an
error?

I do not have any old config as I removed the old install

I'm really not sure what to make of this. Everything in the apache config
looks to be correct; I can't see at all why apache would fail to execute
the CGI vs simply sending you the file.


Can you try two experiments?

First, replace one of the .sh files with a symlink (instead of a hard
link) to the cgiwrap binary. I'd like to see if we can rule out the
hardlink itself being the problem.

Second, can you compare to the xymon-apache.conf with the
xymon-apache-secure.conf.DIST file in the build directory to see if there
were any unexpected changes?

Hmm. So far, the only way I've been able to reproduce this is by
replacing
the ScriptAlias directives with mere Alias's in the xymon.conf apache
config.

I am using the config, as is, that came as xymon-apache.conf with the
source 4.3.20

Has there been any change in the path you've used for the CGI
directory
since the previous version, or is there any chance that another Alias
line

xymon and xymon-client debian version 4.3.17 has been removed, so no
more xymon in /usr/lib/xymon

I do not have any old config as I removed the old install

I'm really not sure what to make of this. Everything in the apache config
looks to be correct; I can't see at all why apache would fail to execute
the CGI vs simply sending you the file.


Can you try two experiments?

First, replace one of the .sh files with a symlink (instead of a hard
link) to the cgiwrap binary. I'd like to see if we can rule out the
hardlink itself being the problem.

I did that and still seeing the same garbage when click a column

 /var/lib/xymon/cgi-bin$ ls -al svcstatus.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 21 10:29 svcstatus.sh -> ../server/bin/cgiwrap

So that did not make any difference


Second, can you compare to the xymon-apache.conf with the
xymon-apache-secure.conf.DIST file in the build directory to see if there
were any unexpected changes?

I see the two files look identical. The conf file was not under build dir.

Hmm. So far, the only way I've been able to reproduce this is by
replacing
the ScriptAlias directives with mere Alias's in the xymon.conf apache
config.

I am using the config, as is, that came as xymon-apache.conf with the
source 4.3.20

Has there been any change in the path you've used for the CGI
directory
since the previous version, or is there any chance that another Alias
line

xymon and xymon-client debian version 4.3.17 has been removed, so no
more xymon in /usr/lib/xymon

Thanks,

Can you send a copy of the previous and current xymon.conf configs?

I do not have any old config as I removed the old install

  I'm really not sure what to make of this. Everything in the apache
config
looks to be correct; I can't see at all why apache would fail to execute
the CGI vs simply sending you the file.


Can you try two experiments?

First, replace one of the .sh files with a symlink (instead of a hard
link) to the cgiwrap binary. I'd like to see if we can rule out the
hardlink itself being the problem.


I did that and still seeing the same garbage when click a column


 /var/lib/xymon/cgi-bin$ ls -al svcstatus.sh

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 21 10:29 svcstatus.sh ->
../server/bin/cgiwrap


So that did not make any difference


Second, can you compare to the xymon-apache.conf with the
xymon-apache-secure.conf.DIST file in the build directory to see if there
were any unexpected changes?


I see the two files look identical. The conf file was not under build dir.

Yep, few times.

Ok, so ScriptAlias is from mod_alias, but that doesn't mean cgi binaries
are actually going to work.

cgi module was not present. I just installed it and now most of the
column
works! Thanks a lot!

I still get the content of the binary for the following columns. rest are
good now

bbd
memory
xymond
xymonnet

I also restored svcstatus.sh from hardlink to symlink and removed the 
two
SetHandler lines

Still all the columns now working except the above four. Until I had the
cgi module installed
none of the columns were working.

Thanks Mark for taking it very close to completely working!

Hmm. So far, the only way I've been able to reproduce this is by

I am using the config, as is, that came as xymon-apache.conf with the

Has there been any change in the path you've used for the CGI

since the previous version, or is there any chance that another Alias

I do not have any old config as I removed the old install

I'm really not sure what to make of this. Everything in the apache config
looks to be correct; I can't see at all why apache would fail to execute
the CGI vs simply sending you the file.


Can you try two experiments?

First, replace one of the .sh files with a symlink (instead of a hard
link) to the cgiwrap binary. I'd like to see if we can rule out the
hardlink itself being the problem.

I did that and still seeing the same garbage when click a column

 /var/lib/xymon/cgi-bin$ ls -al svcstatus.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 21 10:29 svcstatus.sh -> ../server/bin/cgiwrap

So that did not make any difference


Second, can you compare to the xymon-apache.conf with the
xymon-apache-secure.conf.DIST file in the build directory to see if there
were any unexpected changes?

I see the two files look identical. The conf file was not under build dir.

I know this is an old issue but the only thing I could find that matches
my current problem.


We just built a new Ubuntu 18.04 server with Xymon server 4.3.28 and
ghostlist.sh and acknowledge.sh show garbage instead of working properly.
Most other scripts in the cgi-bin directory seem to work ok and I even
created a test python script that worked in the cgi-bin directory.  I have
run a clean make/install on the Xymon server and still have this problem.


Anyone have any ideas?  This is what I get when I go to ghostlist.sh (same
as original poster):

Hmm. So far, the only way I've been able to reproduce this is by
replacing
the ScriptAlias directives with mere Alias's in the xymon.conf apache
config.

I am using the config, as is, that came as xymon-apache.conf with the
source 4.3.20

Has there been any change in the path you've used for the CGI
directory
since the previous version, or is there any chance that another Alias
line

xymon and xymon-client debian version 4.3.17 has been removed, so no
more xymon in /usr/lib/xymon

I do not have any old config as I removed the old install

I'm really not sure what to make of this. Everything in the apache config
looks to be correct; I can't see at all why apache would fail to execute
the CGI vs simply sending you the file.


Can you try two experiments?

First, replace one of the .sh files with a symlink (instead of a hard
link) to the cgiwrap binary. I'd like to see if we can rule out the
hardlink itself being the problem.


I did that and still seeing the same garbage when click a column


 /var/lib/xymon/cgi-bin$ ls -al svcstatus.sh

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 21 10:29 svcstatus.sh ->
../server/bin/cgiwrap


So that did not make any difference


Second, can you compare to the xymon-apache.conf with the
xymon-apache-secure.conf.DIST file in the build directory to see if there
were any unexpected changes?


I see the two files look identical. The conf file was not under build dir.

I know this is an old issue but the only thing I could find that matches my current problem.

We just built a new Ubuntu 18.04 server with Xymon server 4.3.28 and ghostlist.sh and acknowledge.sh show garbage instead of working properly.  Most other scripts in the cgi-bin directory seem to work ok and I even created a test python script that worked in the cgi-bin directory.  I have run a clean make/install on the Xymon server and still have this problem.

Anyone have any ideas?  This is what I get when I go to ghostlist.sh (same as original poster):

Hmm. So far, the only way I've been able to reproduce this is by
replacing
the ScriptAlias directives with mere Alias's in the xymon.conf apache
config.

I am using the config, as is, that came as xymon-apache.conf with the
source 4.3.20

Has there been any change in the path you've used for the CGI
directory
since the previous version, or is there any chance that another Alias
line

xymon and xymon-client debian version 4.3.17 has been removed, so no
more xymon in /usr/lib/xymon

I do not have any old config as I removed the old install

I'm really not sure what to make of this. Everything in the apache config
looks to be correct; I can't see at all why apache would fail to execute
the CGI vs simply sending you the file.


Can you try two experiments?

First, replace one of the .sh files with a symlink (instead of a hard
link) to the cgiwrap binary. I'd like to see if we can rule out the
hardlink itself being the problem.

I did that and still seeing the same garbage when click a column

 /var/lib/xymon/cgi-bin$ ls -al svcstatus.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 21 10:29 svcstatus.sh -> ../server/bin/cgiwrap

So that did not make any difference


Second, can you compare to the xymon-apache.conf with the
xymon-apache-secure.conf.DIST file in the build directory to see if there
were any unexpected changes?

I see the two files look identical. The conf file was not under build dir.

Is that the only script in cgi-bin doing that?  What about the secure cgi bin scripts?  That appears to be an apache config problem with how ExecCGI is configured with your path.

I know this is an old issue but the only thing I could find that matches my current problem.

We just built a new Ubuntu 18.04 server with Xymon server 4.3.28 and ghostlist.sh and acknowledge.sh show garbage instead of working properly.  Most other scripts in the cgi-bin directory seem to work ok and I even created a test python script that worked in the cgi-bin directory.  I have run a clean make/install on the Xymon server and still have this problem.

Anyone have any ideas?  This is what I get when I go to ghostlist.sh (same as original poster):

Hmm. So far, the only way I've been able to reproduce this is by
replacing
the ScriptAlias directives with mere Alias's in the xymon.conf apache
config.

I am using the config, as is, that came as xymon-apache.conf with the
source 4.3.20

Has there been any change in the path you've used for the CGI
directory
since the previous version, or is there any chance that another Alias
line

xymon and xymon-client debian version 4.3.17 has been removed, so no
more xymon in /usr/lib/xymon

I do not have any old config as I removed the old install

I'm really not sure what to make of this. Everything in the apache config
looks to be correct; I can't see at all why apache would fail to execute
the CGI vs simply sending you the file.


Can you try two experiments?

First, replace one of the .sh files with a symlink (instead of a hard
link) to the cgiwrap binary. I'd like to see if we can rule out the
hardlink itself being the problem.

I did that and still seeing the same garbage when click a column

 /var/lib/xymon/cgi-bin$ ls -al svcstatus.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 21 10:29 svcstatus.sh -> ../server/bin/cgiwrap

So that did not make any difference


Second, can you compare to the xymon-apache.conf with the
xymon-apache-secure.conf.DIST file in the build directory to see if there
were any unexpected changes?

I see the two files look identical. The conf file was not under build dir.
