<p class=MsoPlainText>I am not worried so much about permissions. The box is
behind a Pix firewall and I am the only human that works off of that network.
All other employees are behind another firewall. I’ve messed with chown for
root and www-data and still no luck. When I navigate to
http://localhost/smokeping I just get a directory listing like below there are
not any .htm files that I would expect. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I had similar issues with
Smokeping and Ubuntu. To fix the problem I had to give ownership of the
folder /var/lib/smokeping and rrd files inside to root, and ownership of any
slave_cache files (if you're using slaves) to www-data. I'm not sure of
the security risks involved with this, but it's working for me.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to get Smoke Ping running on Ubuntu 7.10 –
Gutsy Gibbon with<br>
Apache2. I can't get the graphs to do anything. When I look at<br>
/var/log/messages it's full of:<br>
<br>
Apr 11 07:40:38 toybox4 smokeping[5565]: RRDs::update ERROR: opening<br>
'/var/lib/smokeping/Media.rrd': Permission denied<br>

'/var/lib/smokeping/Local/LocalMachine.rrd': Permission denied<br>
<br>
Googleing, I found a post that says that you need to change the ownership of<br>
the files in /var/lib/smokeping/* to apache. I think that ubuntu runs<br>
apache as www-data. So I have tried to change the ownership of the files
to<br>
both apache and www-data. I still get the same results.
Are there maybe<br>
some files in other places that need a change of ownership or
permissions? <br>
I have also messed with the ownership of /usr/lib/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi.<br>
<br>
I've messed with this off and on for a few weeks. Ten minutes here ten<br>
there so I am sure I am over looking something simple.<br>
