I've got a stable server hosted on AWS and I'm trying to build a new server on my ESXi VM server hosted elsewhere. Both are using Xymon 4.3.17 and both are build on Ubuntu 14.04. I've got Xymon2 up and supposedly configured the same as Xymon1. It's displaying the basic colored webpage with alerts functioning. My problem is that when I click any colored icon to view the drilldown info I get this message.

I'm comparing Xymon1 and Xymon2 config files and I'm not seeing anything wrong. Anybody have a clue for me?
Thank you.

Check the ownership of the files - I had a similar issue and the web server couldn't execute the cgi.

Apache isn't executing it, I'd guess the config wasn't included. Might also check the httpd logs.

Could be a result of the '.sh' extension not being considered a valid cgi-script. RH/Fedora used to be that way; not sure if Ubuntu still is...
Adding "AddHandler cgi-script .sh$" somewhere into your apache config might fix it.

The installation would have written $xymonhome/server/etc/xymon-apache.conf. Did you copy that to the Apache config file directory, then restart Apache? It contains the ExecCGI option for the CGI directory, and without that, Apache doesn't know to execute the scripts, so it just pushes them out as plain text.

Does apache loads the cgi module? Yuo can check it using "a2query -m cgid" or listing the files in mods-enabled directory "ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/cgid.load"

This mailing list rocks! That was it! Thank you Martin for pointing me to the apache2 module that needed enabled. I added the cgid.load module to the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ directory and restarted the apache2 service and everything started working like magic. Good job. Thanks again! Signature - Kris
