heres some version info:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]# uname -a

unknown
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]# dmesg | grep redhat

[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]# ./bin/smokeping --version
$Id: Smokeping.pm,v 1.4 2002/03/09 12:01:08 oetiker Exp $
not sure why it says 1.4 because:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]# grep VERSION= ./lib/Smokeping.pm
$VERSION="1.18";
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]# cat ./bin/smokeping

### fping seems to report in 1 miliseconds
Daemonizing ./bin/smokeping ...
looks good... so i check processes:
theres one running for smokeping but no fping process:
chelle 18369 0.0 2.4 7868 6228 ? S 19:30 0:00
/usr/bin/perl -w ./bin/smokeping
so i check /var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/var/:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]$ ls -al ./var
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 3 chelle chelle 4096 Feb 19 19:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 chelle chelle 4096 Feb 19 18:55 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 chelle chelle 6 Feb 19 19:30 smokeping.pid
drwxrwxrwx 4 chelle chelle 4096 Feb 18 17:27 World
pid is there so it is running i assume...
so i try to go to the webpage:
http://smokeping.domain.com/cgi-bin/smokeping/smokeping.cgi
i get this when i go there:

creating /var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/var/smokeping.pid: Permission denied
now, this is obviously because /var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/var/smokeping.pid
already exists and is owned by chelle the process owner
i then check processes and i have 2 for smokeping processes running; one
running as chelle and one running as apache:
chelle 18369 0.0 2.4 7868 6228 ? S 19:30 0:00
/usr/bin/perl -w ./bin/smokeping
apache 18402 0.0 2.4 7624 6148 ? S 19:33 0:00
/usr/bin/perl -w /var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/smokeping.cgi
so, i kill both:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]# kill 18369
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]# kill 18402
bash: kill: (18402) - No such pid
and remove the pid:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smokeping]# rm
/var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/var/smokeping.pid
rm: remove `/var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/var/smokeping.pid'? y
then try to go to the webpage again this is what i get this time:

Check /var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/var/smokeping.pid
so the script is killing itself or something, not sure whats going on exactly.
there are no updates to apaches error_log or the suexec_log:

by this point i am not sure what to do other than send this in and hope to get
a reply, so any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks,
