Nagios in OpenBSD 3.3 with Apache chroot

I was doing this with Nagios 1.1 and nagios-plugins 1.3.1. Here’s my configure command line for Nagios:

./configure --sbindir=/var/www/nagios/cgi-bin \
            --datadir=/var/www/nagios/htdocs \
            --sysconfdir=/var/www/nagios/etc \
            --localstatedir=/var/www/nagios/var \
            --with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib \
            --with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include \
            --with-init-dir=/usr/local/nagios/init

This is with the gd, jpeg, png, and freetype packages from ports installed (along with others I’ve installed long since). Note that pretty much everything is stuck in /var/www/nagios. I figure that the CGI scripts will need access to pretty much all of this, especially the data (--localstatedir) and the configuration files (--sysconfdir). You can tweak individual directories either from the main configuration file, or in common/locations.h (or locations.h.in) in the source. You’ll also want static CGI scripts; check out http://www.bennyvision.com/projects/nagios/index.php for a patch that works after you’ve run configure (or, presumably it works; I did it by hand in cgi/Makefile.in). Also note that I tossed the init script in /usr/local/nagios/init/.

For nagios-plugins’ configure I used:

LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib" CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
./configure --sbindir=/var/www/nagios/cgi-bin \
            --datadir=/var/www/nagios/htdocs \
            --sysconfdir=/var/www/nagios/etc \
            --localstatedir=/var/www/nagios/var \
            --with-trusted-path=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

I wanted the LDAP plug-in to work, and apparently though ldconfig -r shows libldap, you still need to give GCC/ld -L/usr/local/lib to have it find it. Includes too. Note that these all get installed in /usr/local/nagios.

I haven’t tested this yet; I’ll try and update here when I do.
