"Linux FAQ #1 : It's always permissions". This sounds like an apache config problem, not a problem with smokeping. Unless you are running apache as suid root (a bad idea I hear), it might not be able to read all the data files - so find out what user apache is runnng under (usually 'apache') and chown/chgrp all the files to that uid. A simple test would be to create a small perl script like: ------------- #!/usr/bin/perl <---or wherever your perl is print "Content-type text/html\n\n"; print "Hello World"; ------------- chmod 774 it and call it 'test.cgi' and put it in the same dir as smokeping.cgi. If it works, you know apache can handle CGI's correctly, and so the permissions issue is the more likely candidate. Cheers, -Keith ________________________________
