Modify the permissions on /var/www/html/Smokeping/* such that the user your web server is running as can create files and directories. There are several ways of doing that, some better than others, from chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/Smokeping/* (not recommended) to creating a group that the Smokeping user and the web server user share and chgrp -R <sharedgroup> /var/www/html/Smokeping/*;chmod -R g+w /var/www/html/Smokeping/* -- Marc -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
