[ale] Need help with Nagios

Mon Jan 25 23:45:14 EST 2010

Guys,

I am helping a friend with Nagios 2.6, on Debian 4.0. The install
appears to be ok, but the problem is that when we access the pages, we
are seeing this error.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>500 Internal Server Error</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Internal Server Error</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.</p>
<p>Please contact the server administrator,

and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.</p>
<p>More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.</p>

When I look in the error log, I am seeing this...

When I look at suexec.log I am seeing this

2010-01-25 23:35:53]: uid: (117/dspam) gid: (120/120) cmd: history.cgi
[2010-01-25 23:35:53]: command not in docroot
(/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios2/history.cgi)
[2010-01-25 23:35:55]: uid: (117/dspam) gid: (120/120) cmd: tac.cgi
[2010-01-25 23:35:55]: command not in docroot (/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios2/tac.cgi)

I have checked it looks like all are owned by nagios  with the group
www-data, but the uid appears to be dspam? Do I need make that nagios
is uid 117 and gid 120 to work? What is the docroot? What do I need to
check there.
