I'm trying to get Nagios setup on NGiNX using PHP-FPM.
I installed fcgiwrap
and and I'm able to execute a Perl script from the cgi-bin
folder, but when I try to access Nagios, I get the following error in the NGiNX error log:
2012/08/23 16:40:21 [error] 8319#0: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 10.1.1.1, server: my.server.tld, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "my.server.tld"
I got this same error using the default locations, so I copied everything to different folders in order to keep the original installation files in-tact.
cp -R /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios3 /var/www/cgi-bin
cp -R /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs /var/www/html
This is what I have set in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
listen 80;
server_name my.domain.tld;
access_log /var/log/nginx/my.domain.tld.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/my.domain.tld.error.log;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
root /var/www/html/;
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nagios3/.htpasswd-users;
}
# Pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
# FastCGI Wrapper
location /cgi-bin/ {
gzip off;
root /var/www/;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
This is what I have set in my /etc/nagios3/cgi.cfg
physical_html_path=/var/www/html
url_html_path=/
This is what I'm running, PHP wise:
PHP 5.3.16-1~dotdeb.0 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Aug 17 2012 22:03:18)

Any ideas on what would cause this and/or how to fix it?

To clarify ErikA's answer:
It is saying "Primary script unknown" because NGiNX does not support running CGI directly. A helper program must be installed to process the CGI files and return the output to NGiNX.
This is why I had installed
fcgiwrap
, which processes the CGI files and passes the output to PHP-FPM, which is then processed by NGiNX, AFAIUI.Although I thought I had started the
init.d
script forfcgiwrap
, I had not.I was able to determine this by running
netstat -alnp | grep cgi
, which returned no output until I started the script;/etc/init.d/fcgiwrap start
After I started it, I ran
netstat -alnp | grep cgi
again, and got the following output:Once the script was running, and CGI was working, I no longer received this error, and Nagios worked.
Yay for migraines that attribute to cloudy thinking and stupid little mistakes!
