Hi all,

I am using monitorix 3.5.1 and Apache 2 and I would like to use Apache to serve the content. I have created the following vHost:

<VirtualHost

Alias /monitorix /var/lib/monitorix/www
ScriptAlias /monitorix-cgi /var/lib/monitorix/www/cgi
<Directory /var/lib/monitorix/www/cgi/>
DirectoryIndex monitorix.cgi
Options ExecCGI
order deny,allow
#deny from all
allow from all
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.4
Require all denied
Require host 127.0.0.1
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.2
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.01
</IfModule>
</Directory>
<Directory /var/lib/monitorix/www>
#Options +Indexes
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

../VirtualHost>

and when I try to access I get the following error:

[notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) PHP/5.4.4-14+deb7u9 mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/1.0.1e configured -- resuming normal operations
[Wed May 28 08:55:50 2014] [error] [client 192.168.19.223] malformed header from script. Bad header=<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C/: monitorix.cgi, referer: https://192.168.19.85/monitorix/

Does maybe somebody has an idea what I am doing wrong or can maybe point me to the right direction?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thomas

Thomas,

Have you disabled the Monitorix built-in HTTP server in the
'/etc/monitorix/monitorix.conf' file?

<httpd_builtin>
enabled = n

Regards.

No, I only changed the port to a higher one and it’s listening to *.

Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas,

If you keep the built-in HTTP server enabled while at the same time you
want to use an external web server, definitely it won't work.

What I wanted to say in my previous email, is that you _must_ disable
the built-in HTTP server if you are using an external web server.

Regards.

Hi Jordi,

thanks a lot - ths helped. But I haven’t understood it. Why do I have to disable the internal one?

Hi Thomas,

Currently is the built-in HTTP server who sends the first HTML header
("Content-Type: text/html\n\n"), so 'monitorix.cgi' relies on this.
That's the reason why you get a 'malformed header' message. If you
disable the built-in HTTP server, that header will be sent by
'monitorix.cgi'.

I guess it could be possible that 'monitorix.cgi' be the only one who
can send such header in any case. I'd need to make some tests on this.

Regards.
