Hi Peter;<br>
<br>
The error looks like it is caused by directory permissions:<br>

<br>
Those directories need to be writable by whatever UID Apache (or
whatever HTTP daemon you're using) runs as on your system. <br>
<br>
You'll want to check all of the following directories (defined in your
SmokePing config file) as well: <br>
imgcache = /var/www/smokeping/img<br>
-> Must be writable by your HTTP daemon UID<br>
pagedir = /var/www/smokeping<br>
-> Must be readable (not writable, content is static) by
your HTTP daemon UID<br>
datadir = /var/db/smokeping<br>
-> Must be writable by the UID the SmokePing daemon runs as
and readable by your HTTP daemon UID<br>
piddir = /var/run/smokeping<br>
-> Must be writable by the UID the SmokePing daemon runs as <br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
