Hi all
Over the weekend I wanted to build up my entire Smokeping installation again on
a fresh SD install of Raspbian because the first time there was much trial and
error and I didn't wholly understand the process. So this time I thought I'd do
it methodically and keep track of my moves.
But it's gone wrong! Now I keep getting:
ERROR: opening '/var/lib/smokeping/mysite1/myhost2.rrd': No such file or
directory
/var/cache/smokeping/images/mysite1/myhost2_last_10800.png
I know that some posts have put this down to a permissions error but I can't
seem to solve it using the instructions that follow. Could someone give me
baby-steps on how to check the permissions of the various directories,
processes and files that need to be right?
I realise I should use suexec (perhaps it would solve this issue??) but I can't
find instructions that seem to work to set this up either...
For clarity my steps so far, have been:
1. Format SD card of at least 8GB with SDFormatter
2. Copy to SD card the latest NOOBS software
3. Insert SD card into Pi and power on. Follow GUI to install Raspbian
4. Change main password
5. On Advanced Options page enable SSH
6. SSH to Pi
7. Run sudo apt-get update
8. Then sudo apt-get upgrade
9. sudo reboot
10. Then login again and become root sudo su
11. Install Apache2 and FastCGI by following instructions from here:
http://raspberryserver.blogspot.co.uk/
12. Begin installing SmokePing from
http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_install.en.html
13. - this will include sudo apt-get install rrdtool etc (follow the list)
14. Install CPAN by using this command: cpan App::cpanminus
15. You may need to run cpanm install CPAN and then cpanm reload CPAN to make
sure you have the most up to date version
16. Install the PERL modules using this command: sudo cpanm <Insert-module-name
here> from the SmokePing list
17. When you have installed all the PERL modules and have got to the
installation section on the Smokeping page use apt-get install smokeping to
actually put the package in place
18. move to the /etc/smokeping/config.d
19. Edit the Target file using this page of examples to help
http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_examples.en.html
20. [At this stage I was getting ERROR: /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames, line
1: File '/usr/sbin/sendmail' does not exist] so I had to run apt-get install
sendmail
21. Install sudo apt-get install apache2-suexec-custom
22…….. how best to configure suexec?????
