Dear Dir, I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on my HP Pro 2.2Ghz Dual Core Notebook. Initially, I use the Synaptic Package Manager to install the Smokeping ver2.3.5 (bundled by Ubuntu11.10) , but it has problems to use the Alerts type =matcher. So I un-install the Smokeping 2.3.5 and download the latest version 2.6.5 from your website : http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/smokeping-2.6.5.tar.gz I follow the installation procedures http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_install.en.html a. unzip the gz file onto the following dir /home/ricky/Downloads/smokeping-2.6.5.tar.gz b. Unpack the tar archive and run the included configure script: ./configure --prefix=/opt/smokeping c. then use the sudo command to make install files sudo make install d. follow the configuration procedures to Installing the webinterface . ( I use Synaptic Manager to install the Apache2 web server before) c. the installation is successfully . All the corresponding files and directory will be installed under /opt/smokeping/bin /opt/smokeping/etc /opt/smokeping/etc /opt/smokeping/htdocs /opt/smokeping/lib /opt/smokeping/share I have to change the following dir to be -rwxrwxrwx- by every one , otherwise the apache2 web cgi will have error saying that "unable to write some files /opt/smokeping/cache/.., permission denied" /opt/smokeping/cache /opt/smokeping/data /opt/smokeping/image /opt/smokeping/var I can put my hosts (which are monitored for RTT) onto the /opt/smokeping/etc/config file and then run the smokeing eg. sudo /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping -debug-daemon successfully. However, the web page http://localhost/cgi-bin/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi does not show the <VERSION> of the smokeping. I execute the command line < sudo /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping -version> the output is nothing. I check the file /opt/smokeping/lib/Smokeping.pm, the $VERSION is equal to "" as shown below: ........ ......... $VERSION = "" .......... ........ then I add < 2.6.5> onto this variable as : ........ ......... $VERSION = "2.6.5" .......... ........ and execute the command line < sudo /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping -version> again, the output will give me <2.6.5>. Is there something wrong with my smokeping2.6.5 installation that cause the $VERSION="" inside the /opt/smokeping/lib/Smokeping.pm module ? thanks for your advice ! -ricky
