<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm 'kinda' a noob to this Linux world... I'm a Windows guy, but because of the security issues with Windows, I decided to setup a Fedora 10 box.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm having problems with this Smokeping program! I followed the instructions found at: <a href="http://lzheng.blogspot.com/2007/02/install-smokeping-via-yum.html">http://lzheng.blogspot.com/2007/02/install-smokeping-via-yum.html</a> which were great, except that Smokeping isn't working!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As for following the instructions, I ha problems with a few steps:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I did "yum install rrdtool perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI fping" and that was great</div>
<div> </div>
<div>but when I got to:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>cd /usr/local/smokeping/bin<br>for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done<br><br>cd /usr/local/smokeping/etc/<br>for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done<br><br>cd /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs<br>
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done</div>
<div> </div>
<div>this didn't work as I thought... what is this command doing? I think it's removing the .dist from the filenames in the folders? Anyways, since it didn't work, I removed the .dist from every file in the folders shown above.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Next problem was with:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="COLOR: blue">use lib qw(/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/RRDs);</span></div>
<div><span style="COLOR: blue"></span> </div>
<div><span style="COLOR: blue"><font color="#000000">my perl version is 5.10.0, so I made that change (5.8.5)</font></span></div>
<div><span style="COLOR: blue"><font color="#000000"></font></span> </div>
<div><span style="COLOR: blue"><font color="#000000">I don't have a RRDs folder in this location. I've been doing some reading and I should have some files in this folder. I don't even have the folder... and when I search for RRD*, I don't get anything!</font></span></div>
<div><span style="COLOR: blue"><font color="#000000"></font></span> </div>
<div><span style="COLOR: blue"><font color="#000000">next, when I run: <font color="#3333ff">/usr/local/smokeping/bin/smokeping &</font> I get: </font></span></div>
<div><span style="COLOR: blue"><font color="#000000"></font></span> </div>
