Xymon and Lighttpd 500 Internal Error
Hello,
The Xymon index page is loading; however, when I attempt to drill down into an individual service check (invoking svcstatus.sh), lighttpd returns a 500 internal server error.
OS: Devuan Ascii 2.0 Kernel: Linux pihole 4.9.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u5 (2019-08-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux Lighttpd: Version: 1.4.45-1 Xymon: Version: 4.3.28-2
Xymon and lighttpd were both installed from the official Devuan repos using apt-get.
Here's my lighttpd config: https://clbin.com/F2LzF Here's an strace: https://clbin.com/EuesM
Thanks,
Guy

Hi,
Can you try running svcstatus.sh by hand as the web user, with the appropriate QUERY_STRING="HOST=pihole.xx.lan&SERVICE=http", and see what happens? From the stack trace it seems to get as far as the bash fork, but there's not much on the return to go on.

I'm not entirely sure how to pass argument to svcstatus.sh on the command line. The web server runs as www-data. Here's what I tried.
www-data at pihole:~$ /usr/lib/xymon/cgi-bin/svcstatus.sh pihole.xx.lan http Status: 403 Refresh: 30 Content-type: text/html
<html><head><title>Invalid request</title></head> <body>Invalid request</body></html> www-data at pihole:~$ id uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),107(xymon) www-data at pihole:~$

Yea, I'm lost.

I couldn't find anything in the man pages or on-line documentation about invoking svcstatus.sh on the command line.

Sorry, there was more needed to simulate the CGI call. This should return something for you:
su -s /bin/sh www-data QUERY_STRING="HOST=pihole.xx.lan&SERVICE=http" REQUEST_METHOD=GET SCRIPT_NAME=svcstatus /usr/share/xymon/cgi-bin/svcstatus.sh

Hmm. Is the 'xx' here a literal or a replacement domain? If the latter, does the original domain have a "-" in it? There was a recent bug regarding display issues for this and the fix might not have made it into the package.
More broadly, are you seeing similar behavior for all svcstatus pages you're hitting? And do other CGI pages come up OK?

Literal, I lack creativity when it comes to naming schema, (xx.lan is used for internal hosts). There are no hyphens.

Until you mentioned it I hadn't tested the other CGI scripts. Turns out they all return, "500 Internal Server Error." SELinux isn't enabled and there aren't any errors in the lighttpd/error.log. Thank you for the suggestions. I've opened a thread on the lighttpd support forum but have yet to receive any feedback.

If I create /var/www/html/hello-world.sh and run it, it works as expected.

Hi,
The .sh files aren't actually shell scripts any more, they are compiled programs. Try getting rid of the cgi.assign clause for .sh completely.
I've just had a look at an old lighttpd config that I used for xymon and found this in my vhosts.d directory:
server.modules? += ( "mod_cgi", ??????? "mod_auth", ??????? "mod_alias" )
alias.url += ( ??????? "/xymon-cgi/" => "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-bin/", ??????? "/xymon-seccgi/" => "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-secure/", ??????? "/xymon/" => "/usr/local/xymon/server/www/", ??????? "/xymon" => "/usr/local/xymon/server/www/" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/xymon-cgi/|^/xymon-seccgi/" { ??????? dir-listing.activate = "disable" ??????? cgi.assign = ( "" => "" ) }
auth.backend = "htpasswd" auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd"
auth.require = ( "/xymon-seccgi/" => ( ??????? "method"? => "basic", ??????? "realm"?? => "Xymon Administration", ??????? "require" => "user=admin" ??????? ) ) There is no mention of '.sh' mapping anywhere. While I'm a little hazy about all of this, I suspect that the line 'cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )' for the cgi directories is where the magic happens.
Cheers,
Brian Scott
Brian,
Thank you, this resolved the issue. I did a fresh install of lighttpd, and after adjusting some file-system permissions, your config works great.
Thanks again,
Guy
