I am not worried so much about permissions. The box is behind a Pix firewall and I am the only human that works off of that network. All other employees are behind another firewall. I've messed with chown for root and www-data and still no luck. When I navigate to http://localhost/smokeping I just get a directory listing like below there are not any .htm files that I would expect.

To fix the problem I had to give ownership of the folder /var/lib/smokeping and rrd files inside to root, and ownership of any slave_cache files (if you're using slaves) to www-data. I'm not sure of the security risks involved with this, but it's working for me. -Nate On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 7:57 AM, Richey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I am trying to get Smoke Ping running on Ubuntu 7.10 - Gutsy Gibbon with Apache2. I can't get the graphs to do anything. When I look at /var/log/messages it's full of: Apr 11 07:40:38 toybox4 smokeping[5565]: RRDs::update ERROR: opening '/var/lib/smokeping/Media.rrd': Permission denied Apr 11 07:40:38 toybox4 smokeping[5565]: RRDs::update ERROR: opening '/var/lib/smokeping/Local/LocalMachine.rrd': Permission denied Googleing, I found a post that says that you need to change the ownership of the files in /var/lib/smokeping/* to apache. I think that ubuntu runs apache as www-data. So I have tried to change the ownership of the files to both apache and www-data. I still get the same results. Are there maybe some files in other places that need a change of ownership or permissions? I have also messed with the ownership of /usr/lib/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi. I've messed with this off and on for a few weeks. Ten minutes here ten there so I am sure I am over looking something simple.
