nagios admin web application gets "url not found" after successful login

[ghost]

Cookbook version

7.2.7

Chef-client version

13.2.20

Platform Details

CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

Scenario:

Install nagios

Actual Result:

Web browser gets "url not found after successful login".

Not Found

The requested URL /< was not found on this server.
Apache Server at 172.16.129.26 Port 80

Problem: apache2 - php made a change.
You are now required to add an "AddHandler" for php to the virtual hosts file.
I got bit by this change in my own web apps that use PHP.

I had to add the following statement to the apache2 virtual hosts file for php version 7

    AddHandler php7-script php

For php version 5 you have to add this:

   AddHandler php5-script php

I modifed the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/nagios3.conf file, added the AddHandler for php7 (see below) and then restarted apache2 and the problem is fixed.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin     root@localhost
  ServerName      acme.nagios.com
  DocumentRoot    /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs
  CustomLog       /var/log/apache2/nagios_access.log combined
  ErrorLog        /var/log/apache2/nagios_error.log

  Alias /stylesheets /etc/nagios3/stylesheets
  Alias /nagios3/stylesheets /etc/nagios3/stylesheets
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/nagios3 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios3
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/statusjson.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios3/statusjson.cgi
  Alias /nagios3 /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs
  AddHandler php7-script php

  <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios3">
     Options ExecCGI
  </Directory>

  <Location />
    AuthName "Nagios Server"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile "/etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users"
    require valid-user
  </Location>

  SetEnv TZ "UTC"

</VirtualHost>

This is how I fixed it in my cookbooks

Added this statement to my virtual host erb files:

AddHandler php<%= @params[:php_version] %>-script php

Then my template does this:

php_version lazy { `php -v | awk -F'.' 'NR==1 { printf substr ($1, 5) }'` }

Example output:

# php -v | awk -F'.' 'NR==1 { printf substr ($1, 5) }'

This will need manual testing to verify/resolve as at the moment our tests pass when opening pages and passing username and password to curl.

@gforghetti, could you test again with the latest release in the supermarket (8.0.0) and let us know if this manual testing is needed or if this can be closed?

Fix is working. Thanks Stephen!
