Ah. Thank you, you Unix guys. My NIX training is still in its infancy and I admit that I did not understand that there was a difference between URI and URL. Actually, I had never even heard of URI before tonight.
That worked perfectly. Thank you for all your help. Steve Gingolaski -----Original Message----- From: Sandor W.

Right, because your web browser is running on the same system as your webserver. What happens if you replace the "file://" part of your above URI with "http://";? Bet you'd get a 'file not found'. > > > > Only when I try and view and the graphics via smokeping.cgi do I get > the > error telling me that the file is not found. Because when you are using the "file://" URI method, the "root" of the path is "/", but when you use "http://";, the "root" of the path is whatever DocumentRoot (or another directory, if you have Aliases set) is set to in your webserver's httpd.conf. > There is an error in the Apache error_log: > > > > [Tue Jul 06 15:41:49 2004] [error] [client X.X.4.153] File does not > exist: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/usr, referer: > http://X.X.7.198/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi > And that error is telling you exactly what the problem is. Your webserver is attempting to display the file "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/usr", and that file does not exist. in your smokeping config, try setting "imgurl" to just "smoke" (no path.) -s- -- Sandor Wade Sklar Unix Systems Administrator Stanford University ITSS-TSS Non impediti ratione cogitationis. -- 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
