Add ScriptAlias for our happy green checkmark.

[ChrisLundquist]

It appears /cgi-bin/jsonstatus.cgi is hard coded, make it work.

$ grep -r "getCoreStatus" .
./html/main.php:        getCoreStatus();
./html/main.php:    function getCoreStatus() {

$ sudo grep -r "main.php" .
./html/index.php:$url = 'main.php';
./html/side.php:            <li><a href="main.php" target="<?php echo $link_target;?>">Home</a></li>
./update-version:perl -i -p -e "s/this_year = '.*';/this_year = '$YEAR';/;" html/main.php
./update-version:perl -i -p -e "s/releasedate\">.*<\//releasedate\">$LONGDATE<\//;" html/main.php
./update-version:perl -i -p -e "s/this_version = '.*';/this_version = '$newversion';/;" html/main.php

I see your point. And while looking at this again, it's basically the same as the line above it.
Will investigate on my environment what is going on here, because currently I have no clue what this cgi does :)

The problem on Ubuntu 14.04 was that node['nagios']['cgi-path'] ended with nagios3/ and the javascript call did not match. The real solution is to have nagios core fix this based on ./configure options, but that seems like it might take longer.

@sbotman , @ChrisLundquist
Checked on 'server-source-centos-70' and 'server-source-ubuntu-1204';
while the "regular" cgi urls are nicely generated upon the configure switch '--with-cgiurl', this specific call to this specific URL has apparently not been made variable and result in:
$.get('cgi-bin/statusjson.cgi?query=programstatus', function(d) {

As @ChrisLundquist indicated, this would need to be corrected in the Nagios Core (configure/compile) indeed.

Untill then, JSON status url, in the home.php page, will allways use
$.get('cgi-bin/statusjson.cgi?query=programstatus', function(d) {

which results in NOT getting a green checkmark with message such as "Daemon running with PID 25975".

A link to more info on the JSON pages
When using the '/jsonquery.html', it will generate url's for "all" (3) jsonpages.

So a workaround could be to ADD
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/statusjson.cgi <%= node['nagios']['cgi-bin'] %>/statusjson.cgi
which would "fix" the home.php page

or (option 2)

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/statusjson.cgi <%= node['nagios']['cgi-bin'] %>/statusjson.cgi
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/objectjson.cgi <%= node['nagios']['cgi-bin'] %>/objectjson.cgi
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/archivejson.cgi <%= node['nagios']['cgi-bin'] %>/archivejson.cgi

which would "fix" all JSON pages, but keep explicit exceptions/workarounds
or (option 3)

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin <%= node['nagios']['cgi-bin'] %>

which would "fix" all JSON pages, but might be to generic and create a conflict with potential other websites hosted on the same server.

All have pros and cons, "therefore" I would suggest to use option 1 for now, iow use this pull request.

@bheuvel, your suggestion is to merge this if I understand you correctly? If so, please do :)
