I decided to use the NUT project, and was excited that there was a web interface included with it. Unfortunately the web interface is just a group of CGI URLs. I decided to create a central page to easily access the CGI scripts.

Network UPS Tools (aka NUT)

Installation

• nut-html Version 1.1 - by Dave Breiland - bigwavedave@gmail.com
  
• Download the nut-html-20050720b.tar.gz (above) to your base install of NUT. (i.e. /usr/local/nut)
  
• Extract the files using "tar zxvf nut-html-20050720b.tar.gz".
  
• You should now have a folder titled "html".
  • My directories now look like:
    [root@server /]# cd /usr/local/nut
    [root@server nut]# ls -al
    total 60
    drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 20 14:58 .
    drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Jul 17 19:53 ..
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 17 19:53 bin
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 20 09:44 cgi-bin
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 20 11:17 etc
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 20 14:58 html
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jul 17 19:53 man
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 830 Jul 20 14:57 nut-html-20050720.tar.gz
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 17 19:53 sbin
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 17 19:53 share
    [root@server nut]#
    
• Now edit your Apache conf file, adding:
  • #Begin Section
    ScriptAlias /nut/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nut/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/local/nut/cgi-bin/">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    
    Alias /nut/ /usr/local/nut/html/
    <Directory "/usr/local/nut/html/">
    Options None
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    #End Section
    
• Make sure to change the paths according to your configuration and installation.
  
• Also make sure to restart Apache.
  
• Configure the CGI scripts. Manpages can be found from:
  [root@server nut]# man -M /usr/local/nut/man/ upsstats.cgi
  [root@server nut]# man -M /usr/local/nut/man/ upsset.cgi
  [root@server nut]# man -M /usr/local/nut/man/ upsimage.cgi
  [root@server nut]# man -M /usr/local/nut/man/ hosts.conf
  
• It is recommended that you use .htaccess files in the cgi-bin folder and the html folder. Please reference:
