Nagios does not send the graph in email - email

So, I have been trying to make Nagios work with Graphite to send alert emails but that's not working right. I used the following URL to set everything up:
http://www.protocolostomy.com/2012/02/24/sending-alerts-with-graphite-graphs-from-nagios/
The sendgraph.py alone, with the correct parameters sends a correct email with the graph properly displayed. But if I use nagios to send the graph it sends the correct message but the graph does not show up. I only get a file name which when tried to open gives me this message: "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." I have no idea why. All the work of sending the graph is done by sendgraph.py and it has all the correct parameters to it for sure because the URL gives the correct values from Graphite and then I get the email (so the email is correct) and I get the description and state of the graph correctly.
Could anyone please suggest me a way out of this?
Thanks!

In the Nagios documentation for macros it states:
"Additionally, any macros that contain custom variables are stripped for safety and security."
In you nagios.cfg file, try removing the '&' from this line:
illegal_macro_output_chars=`~$^&"|'<>

error: Failed to run the post merge process

I'm trying to generate documents using conga composer 8 from apex code but its failing with error Failed to run the post-merge process. I have looked into url and its same as the one I used initially in another salesforce org. I couldn't find any help online or on conga-composer form.
Here is my conga endpoint URL:

Any insight what might be causing this issue.
I had the same problem and was able to solve it using permissions. In this case make sure the user id whose sessionID is passing to Conga has the correct CRUD access to the primary object in your conga call (id=a1J410000012BwS). My guess is that this is something to do with Conga not being able to write the attachment back to salesforce.
Apart from what Greg has mentioned, there are 2 more observations for this error:
Under Email Administration -> Deliverability -> Access to Send Email (All Email Services) should be set to All email.
In case you are using the EmailTemplateId parameter then the classic email template must be available for use.
Also mostly this error is also because of some discrepancy in the URL.

Expression Engine using the Champagne Extension troubleshooting

I have an issue in Expression Engine using the Champagne Extension where it won't allow me to send out campaigns. This extension utilizes https://www.campaignmonitor.com/ api to send out mass emails.
The Error I get is "HTML Content URL Required" when I try to send out campaigns form the back end of the Expression Engine Install.
What could be causing this issue that relates to the expression engine install?
This error is received anytime the URL to your html or text content is not visible. More often this is seen when someone forget to include the text version. A good way to test is to click the preview HTML/TEXT button and make sure both give you the correct results.
They cannot be blank.
For an alternative solution, be sure to checkout my add-on Postmaster. It allows clients to publish email campaigns just by creating a new entry. You can setup any number of configuration, so you can even send draft email to a test subscriber list. And since everything is within channel entries, you can use whatever fieldtypes you like, and it works with MailChimp as well as CampaignMonitor.

Getting REQUEST_DENIED when calling Google's Autocomplete from a Browser

I have signed up for Google Places Autocomplete API and created a new key by going to following url.
http://code.google.com/apis/console/
I am using the generated key to do some testing on my browser. I am entering following url to search for City names starting with "San".
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=San&types=cities&sensor=false&key=
I keep getting "REQUEST_DENIED" error message. Is there anything I am missing? I can see my usage counter going up every time I try to test this using a browser, but I keep getting REQUEST_DENIED message back. As per the google documentation it says this message is related to "Sensor" parameter. I tried setting this parameter to True/False but get the same results. Please help!
Thanks,

Codeigniter Facebook app POST method AND query_string

I have a toy facebook app I'm playing with so I can understand how it all works. It's fine if you go the the app like this: http://apps.facebook.com/pushup-challenge/ (and connect it). But if you then go to it from your facebook page, FB uses the URL http://apps.facebook.com/pushup-challenge/?ref=bookmarks.
In my log file, I see that FB is POSTing the data and including the /?ref=bookmarks to it's call to my codeigniter system. This is causing it to either say "invalid URI parameters" or give me a 404, depending on if I've edited the system/core/URI.php file to add rawurlencode() to a particular call.
I've tried using mod_rewrite to get rid of the query_string, too, but since it's POSTing, it doesn't appear to be working (though I'm not exactly sure why).
Has anyone else run into this? How did you fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Hans
try $config['uri_protocol'] = “PATH_INFO”; and set enable_query_strings = TRUE
or
set
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-?=';
in config.php
Because it isn't calling your file by name (just ?ref=bookmarks) the server runs thru the standard default files: index.htm, index.html, index.asp. Because you need to accept a POST, you need a server that allows POSTs to htm & html if you choose to use those. Index.asp will accept POSTs on most servers, and that works for me.
SOLUTION: Add a file (index.asp), that calls the real app that you named in the App settings.

How to set up an email server that will accept a URL in the subject of an email and respond with a copy of that webpage

I'm trying to piece out how difficult it would be to set up an email server that will accept a URL as the subject of an email and respond with an attached copy of said webpage, or element(s) of that webpage (ie, an image from the page, or all of the videos on the page).
I don't necessarily need the code written for me, but would appreciate if someone could suggest a starting point.
I have very little web-programming knowledge (some C++, some Actionscript), which is partly why I don't even know where to begin.
There is several ways to achieve this.
In most unix MTAs you can set up an alias to pipe all messages for some address through a program.
This program need to parse the message header for the "from" and "subject", fetch the url and sent it back.
You can also do this with a program like fetchmail, so you dont even need to make something in the server side.
Finally, several languages have wonderful libraries fetch the mail using POP3, parse it, fetch the URL from the subject and compose a new mail message. Should be no more than 100 code lines with perl or python.
