Nut upsuser - Jun 2023 - Accessing: upsstats.cgi Error: no hosts to monitor (check hosts.conf)

For some reason I?m no longer able to access the upsstats.cgi
(http://192.168.123.49/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi)  I get the error: Error: no
hosts to monitor (check hosts.conf)

When Apache starts is complains about not finding the fully qualified domain
name.

In the past, upsstats.cgi would just load. I didn?t have to do any Apache2
configuration. I don?t know what has changed.

I?ve build NUT 2.8.0 from source, autogened, configured, make, make install, and
it is running. Is there something I?m missing that isn?t getting updated when I
do the make install?

Upsstats.cgi and the others are located in the cgi-bin/nut/ folder.

I can get to http://192.168.123.49/ and the Apache page loads.


Any suggestions?

Dan

That seems normal

in general this does need configuration.   read the apache config file.
read the apache logs.

I would not expect that to adjust apache configs.

generally one needs a config stanza that says for this web path execute
this binary.  Both ScriptAlias and Directory.

Read the apache manual about to configure cgi.  (I'm actually serious.)

I don't see any example config files in the sources.
