has to be own by "nobody" and that user has to be able to access it (+x) and write to it (+w) so that it can create a directory hierarchy showing your clusters/nodes/metrics. remember that to be able to access a directory you have to also be able to access all other directories from starting from "/" and that will basically require that the home directory for "developer" be publicly accessible in most cases. > Currently it is owned by my user "developer", I tried giving rwx > pemission to everyone, but I still get the same message. if you want to run gmetad as user "developer" then you have to start gmetad as that used and disable setuid in /etc/ganglia/gmetad.conf : setuid off Carlo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
