[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#315755: nagios-common: CGI scripts return Internal Server Error - unrecognized character \x7F

[William McKee]

Package: nagios-common
Version: 2:1.3-cvs.20050402-2.sarge.1
Severity: important


The package installed fine and properly displays the static html pages such as
starting page, side frame and documentation. When I try to run one of the cgi
scripts I receive an Internal Server Error message. My apache log has the
following:

  [Sat Jun 25 09:09:04 2005] [error] Unrecognized character \\x7F at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/status.cgi line 1.\n

I am running Nagios under a recompiled apache2 package in order to fix the
suexec_path parameter. I can successfully run a hello world Perl script from
the cgi-bin directory. There is not much information on Google about the above
error.

Thanks for any suggestions,
William
