That's actually perfectly normal. You need to visit http://localhost/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi to bring up the proper page(s). What I've done is just add a redirect for that address, so that anybody who tries to load <url>/smokeping is automatically redirected to the proper <url>/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi address. To do that just add a blank index file to your /var/www/smokeping folder [which is also handy to stop people from just loading the raw directory listing], and then create a .htaccess file to redirect them to the proper address. Redirect 301 /smokeping/index.php /cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi Problem solved. --David Richey wrote: > > I am not worried so much about permissions.
