<p class=MsoNormal>Dear smokeping users<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Environment: server: solaris 10, perl v5.8.4 , rrdtool-1.4.4
, apache-2.2.15 , smokeping-2.4.2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Browser: Mozilla firefox 3.6.6 or IE 8 at windows 7 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I configured smokeping and the deamon is running very well.
There is configured one target.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Apache was configured with a vhost and a dedicated cgi
directory.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I copied these 2 cgi script to this directory.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I try to navigate with the browser to my target I don’t
see any graphics. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Looking in the apache log, I see, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>script not found or unable to stat:
/usr/local/smokeping-2.4.2/cgi/cropper<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>this is correct as the cropper directory is not there (see
error log v1) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I copied the directory cropper with subtrees to the cgi <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Using any browser again no pictures. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now the apache log says: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Permission denied: exec of
'/usr/local/smokeping-2.4.2/cgi/cropper/lib/scriptaculous.js'<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>( see error log v2 ) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This partially correct as this java-script is not
executable, but is totally wrong as java-scripts should not and cannot be
executed by the web server. This is a task for the browser ( IE or NS ) but not
for apache. If I look at the cache dir the png files are there. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now I am a little bit confused. Why does the system search
for java-scripts in cgi directories. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It’s not my first smokeping installation but to the others I
installed, I don’t have access anymore. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am sure it’s only a little miss configuration on my site,
but I am looking around since a day and I cannot find it. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any help would be nice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Kind regards <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hans <o:p></o:p></p>
