<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to get Smoke Ping running on Ubuntu 7.10
– Gutsy Gibbon with Apache2. I can’t get the graphs to do
anything. When I look at /var/log/messages it’s full of:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Googleing, I found a post that says that you need to change
the ownership of the files in /var/lib/smokeping/* to apache. I think that
ubuntu runs apache as www-data. So I have tried to change the ownership of the
files to both apache and www-data. I still get the same results. Are there
maybe some files in other places that need a change of ownership or
permissions? I have also messed with the ownership of
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve messed with this off and on for a few weeks. Ten
minutes here ten there so I am sure I am over looking something simple.<o:p></o:p></p>
