Well, I'm gonna take a guess here.. First, I'm assuming a linux/apache install and you configured it to support cgi files.
Did you put your smokeping.cgi file inside your /cgi-bin directory and verify that it has correct permissions? In my case, I'm using a virtual host directive, and have told apache to look for /cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi under the URL. Hence http://smokeping.mycompany.com is the URL I give out, and inside the httpd.conf file I have: <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/smokeping ServerName smokeping.mycompany.com:80 ErrorLog logs/smokeping.mycompany.com-error_log CustomLog logs/smokeping.mycompany.com-access_log common DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi </VirtualHost> The path to my cgi-bin directory, under apache2 is: /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/ And the permissions on my smokeping.cgi file in that directory is 644. The directions can be someone confusing, however I took them one step at a time and was able to piece all the stuff together. I thought about documenting my install procedure and passing it along, but I have yet to actually have a chance. I would try the following url: http://10.50.3.207/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi Verify that smokeping is running by doing: Ps -ax | grep smokeping You can look into the server error logs to see what the server thinks the problem is. I suspect you *may* have just copied the default html file over to the webserver directory, which will not work. That is a template that the cgi script uses to build the web page. That is a couple things to at least try. Good luck!
