Bug 133736 – sys-power/nut needs webapp loving.

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robin Johnson 2006-05-18 16:29:40 UTC]

sys-power/nut needs some webapp loving.

It presently compiles it's three cgi scripts, and places them in /usr/share/nut, telling the user to put them into Apache's ScriptPath. This is not really ideal.

The following is a lighttpd config for nut, and is now in the tree as ${FILESDIR}/lighttpd_nut.conf

I couldn't find anything in the webapp docs for things that don't actually copy any files.

# Simple copy this to /etc/lighttpd/ and include it in your lighttpd.conf.
# It will make NUT available at http://$HOST/nut/ 
server.modules += ("mod_cgi")
# If you want to limit it to some host, uncomment the host check and modify it to your needs.
# $HTTP["host"] == "www2.example.org" {
alias.url += ( "/nut/" => "/usr/share/nut/" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/nut/" {
  dir-listing.activate = "disable"
  cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "" )
  index-file.names = ( "upsstats.cgi" )
}
# }

Just to be clear: you just want to install the three cgi scripts into the proper location, or is there anything else?

[Comment 2 Robin Johnson 2006-05-19 14:08:01 UTC]

The cgi files in whatever is the correct place, and the Apache config to go with them (similar to the lighttpd config I posted).
the index file is "upsstats.cgi", other listings turned off, and the scripts run directly (they are compiled ELF binaries).

Pleasy please, don't force dependency on apache though :)

flameeyes: see the lighttpd stuff that is already included ;-).

Are you sure the files are actually there?

(See Bug #152659)

Please fix bug 152659 first :)
