[Nut-upsuser] Accessing: upsstats.cgi Error: no hosts to monitor (check hosts.conf)

[Jim Klimov]

Not fully true about example configs in docs: man pages for CGI bits have
some :)

https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/man/upsset.conf.txt
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/man/upsstats.cgi.txt
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/man/hosts.conf.txt
etc.

Other than that, check permissions - e.g. OTOH if Apache user may read your
/etc/nut/hosts.conf (and the /etc/nut directory - may be inaccessible to
non-nut accounts completely, at least in packaging)

Hope this helps,
Jim
