Thanks! I had problems with this feature as well a long, long time ago. But I couldn't remember what I did to fix it. One of the issues I had was being able to run the generated PERL script on the dynamic host. The rest of it got lost in the murk. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. Now if I could only remember what I wanted to monitor! - Dan

The underlying cause turned out to be a file-access issue. I run the SmokePing daemon under its own user account, called 'smoke'. This user also owns all the data files for SmokePing. The web server runs under a different user account, 'apache'. The address registration file is maintained by the smokeping.cgi script, triggered by the web server. A first fix was to add the 'apache' user to the 'smoke' group, and to make the directories in the data and htdocs group-writeable. More work is needed to line up suexec and Perl's -T mode to do things 'properly'. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
