[6.9] nut-cgi && httpd (+slowcgi)

[CiotBSD]

Hi.

I attempt to use nut-cgi with httpd server, on OpenBSD 6.9.
(for the little story, I've an Eaton Ellipse ECO 650 USB FR; it's recognized and seems run correctly with the OS, after the pretty configuration…)

My file config /etc/nut/ups.conf:

[eaton]
	desc = "Eaton Ellipse ECO 650 USB FR"
	driver = "usbhid-ups"
	port = "auto"
	vendorid = "0463"
	productid = "FFFF"
	product = "Ellipse ECO"
	serial = "000000000"
	vendor = "EATON"
	bus = "005"

----

I changed rights user on the script CGI /var/www/cgi-bin/nut/upsset.cgi to "www:bin":

-rwxr-xr-x  1 www   bin     2499656 Apr 19 23:29 upsset.cgi*

My basic config httpd:

types {
    include "/usr/share/misc/mime.types"
}

server "default" {
    listen on 127.0.0.1 port 80
    log { access "httpd-default-access.log", error "httpd-default-error.log" }
    location "/cgi-bin/*.cgi" {
        fastcgi socket "/run/slowcgi.sock"
        root "/"
    }
}

(after, both services httpd and slowcgi are enabled and started)

I created the file '/etc/nut/hosts.conf':

MONITOR eaton@localhost "Eaton Ellipse ECO 650 VA USB FR"

I uncommented the mention "I_HAVE_SECURED_MY_CGI_DIRECTORY" on the file /etc/nut/upsset.conf:

$ grep -v '#' /etc/nut/upsset.conf                                                                                                            

I_HAVE_SECURED_MY_CGI_DIRECTORY

(all services upsd, upsmon, httpd was been restarted…)

But, when I consult the CGI script, I had always the error message:

Error: Secure mode has not been enabled in upsset.conf.
Refusing to start until this is fixed.

Any idea/suggestion?
(perhaps, it's not possible to use the nut cgi scripts with httpd; those scripts are wrote for Apache, by default)

Per the package description, cgi-nut is implemented specifically for chrooted Apache, as you noted.

You may want to post to the ports@ mailing list, as cgi-nut does not have a port maintainer assigned and this forum is a tiny community.
