<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>It surprises me is that you seem to have a rather old configuration -<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>more recent Smokepings have a very short 'config' file and it includes<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>several other files from a directory called 'config.d' (which is<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>usually in the same place as 'config'). I'm guessing that you<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>installed Smokeping by using a package manager, and not by grabbing<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the tarball from the Smokeping site. That's OK, but it can get a bit<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>confusing because packages tend to be a bit out of date, and very<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>often the packager shuffles things all around to suit his filesystem<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>layout preferences. We'll muddle through somehow. :)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>> > Now we need to see what's in the Apache error log for that request.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>> At 14:00, with Mozilla, I tried accessing<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>> <a href="http://hppav.proxima.local/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi">http://hppav.proxima.local/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi</a> and I received the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>> Error 500 Internal Server Error (all in text not HTML).<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>The error codes (like error 500 'Internal server error') are crucial<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>to figuring outwhat's going on. If you're going to use a Webserver<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>for very much at all (and if you're going to use Smokeping, you are)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>then you should learn what at least some of them by heart. The first<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>ones to start with are 200, 304, 403, 404 and 500. You should also<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>learn the structure of the error codes, for example 2xx means things<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>are OK, 5xx means things are not good. Google for "HTTP error codes"<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>and spend some quality time with them.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>In this acse we see a 500 which tells us we need to look in the server<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>error log, because in there you'll find something similar to what you<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>would see if you were running the script at the command line, assuming<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the script might be capable of running properly at the command line,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>which it most likely isn't.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>> When I tried to access<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>'perldoc' to produce documentation. We don't need to look at that now<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>but very briefly you can put the documentation for a Perl script inside<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the script itself, and sort-of 'comment it out' so the Perl interpreter<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>will ignore it. So you can type 'perl scriptname' and the thing runs,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>but when you say 'perldoc scriptname' you get something like a manual.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>But sometimes you need to be a bit clairvoyant, and look in the script<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>with a pager (like 'less') or an editor (in read-only mode!) because<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the part to 'see below' might be the actual code and 'perldoc' might<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>not show it to you. That was another guess, we can come back to it.<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>> "If you are using a version of Perl older than 5.8.1, you should consider..."<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>> The link is broken, and I don't know if I need this based upon what<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>> I've been corresponding with.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Don't worry about that, your Perl seems to be 5.8.8 which is fine.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>(Did we ever find out where all that stuff about 5.005_03 came from?:)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>> Well I wont get much into this. The important thing is, to have a<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>> webserver which allows you to run CGI scripts. If you are using<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>> Apache I strongly recommend using the suexec system...<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Tobi says he won't get into it because there's plenty of documentation<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>about Apache and it's far too big a job for him to support people with<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Apache-type problems (which is what you have here). You need to become<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>familiar with running a Webserver. It will take time.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>> I added a Virtual Host to the httpd.conf, the user/group that it<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>> uses is "apache." All the defaults were listed. Do you want to see<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>> that file? I'm not sure how to use suexec. Maybe that's what I<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>> need to do to make this work.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>You might just be right. But let's see what happens when you give<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>permission for Apache to execute the .cgi script.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Please show the output of<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>ls -l /var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>and tell me what users run the httpd processes on your system.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>There will probably be more than one user and several processes<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>under normal circumstances.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>> Thank you again for your enduring patience with me....:)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Hehe, many people have helped me in the past. I'm just paying my dues.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Sorry, got to run now.<o:p></o:p></pre>
