No, you get an "Invalid request" message. That's different.
>hobbit=EF=BF=BDleopg9u:=EF=BF=BD/cgi-bin$ sh -x confreport.sh
confreport.sh is a CGI script. You cannot invoke it from
the commandline without setting the environment variables
that a CGI script would normally get from the webserver:
REQUEST_METHOD, QUERY_STRING, SCRIPT_NAME and feeding it
the post data.
BTW, did you run the upgrade script as per RELEASENOTES
and docs/upgrade-to-430.txt ?
Regards,
Henrik

Not enough this time, I'm afraid. From docs/upgrade-to-430.txt:
1) Make sure you have a backup. It is not necessary to backup
the data in the hist/, histlogs/, hostdata/ and rrd/
directories (if you use the default directory layout, then
that means the entire data/ directory need not be backed up).
2) Configure Xymon 4.3.0 using a directory layout that is
identical to your previous version. Make sure you keep the
directory names exactly as they were in the version you are
currently running, even though that may include "hobbit" in
the directory name.
3) Build Xymon 4.3.0 (run "make")
4) Stop Hobbit (the current version).
5) Using the "bbcmd" utility from your current version, run
then "./build/upgrade430.sh" script. I.e. run a command
like
~hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd ./build/upgrade430.sh
This will perform almost all of the file renaming and
configuration file updates that are needed when going
to version 4.3. A few updates cannot be done automatically,
you will be notified what else is needed after the script
completes.
6) Install Xymon 4.3.0 (run "make install").
Regards,
Henrik
