I'm trying to setup a new Xymon server. This is only my second time doing this and the last time was years ago, so I'm probably missing something obvious.
I have the big grid of status messages running on /xymon.html now. However, if I click on one of the icons the browser will download a file instead of displaying detailed status info. As an example, I clicked on /xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=<hostname>&SERVICE=ldap and it just downloaded a file named svcstatus.sh.
I'm betting I missed a setting in my Apache 2.4 configuration. Can anyone offer suggestions?

Sorry, but this wasn't a xymon issue after all. For Apache, my httpd.conf had the mod_cgi line commented out. I have no idea why, but once I uncommented it and restarted Apache this issue no longer existed.
Thanks for your patience. Hopefully my experience will save someone else from banging their head against a wall.

Jaime,
No problem, that's what we're here for. This was actually a fairly common issue a while back, as the equivalent of "AddHandler cgi-script .sh" sometimes needed to be added, depending on how the distro configured apache by default and where people put things.
The opposite problem occasionally happened too where the HTML man pages for .cgi's would attempt to be executed instead of sent.
Regards,
