What > should I be seeing or looking for? well you should see the fastcgi process being restarted ... what happens when you modify the config (or what should happen) is that the cgi request gets handled (on the old config) and then the fastcgi process kills itself. lib/Smokeping.pm line 3939 this code is a bit twisted as it uses some global variables for presistence ... adding a few debug statements there might bring light to the problem. cheers tobi > > Thanks! > > -Vinny > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tobias Oetiker [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2012 4:04 PM > To: Abello, Vinny > Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [smokeping-users] fcgid and config changes > > Hi Vinny, > > Today [email protected] wrote: > > > Hi Tobi, > > > > No includes here?
