Dear Dir,<BR>
<BR>
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on my HP Pro 2.2Ghz Dual Core Notebook.<BR>
<BR>
Initially, I use the Synaptic Package Manager to install the Smokeping ver2.3.5 (bundled by Ubuntu11.10) , but it has problems to use the <BR>
Alerts type =matcher.<BR>
<BR>
So I un-install the Smokeping 2.3.5 and download the latest version 2.6.5 from your website :<BR>
<BR>
<A href="http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/smokeping-2.6.5.tar.gz">http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/smokeping-2.6.5.tar.gz</A><BR>
<BR>
I follow the installation procedures<BR>
<BR>
<A href="http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_install.en.html">http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_install.en.html</A><BR>
<BR>
a. unzip the gz file onto the following dir<BR>
/home/ricky/Downloads/smokeping-2.6.5.tar.gz<BR>
b. Unpack the tar archive and run the included configure script:<BR>
./configure --prefix=/opt/smokeping<BR>
c. then use the sudo command to make install files<BR>
sudo make install<BR>
d. follow the configuration procedures to <BR>
<DT>Installing the webinterface . ( I use Synaptic Manager to install the Apache2 web server before)</DT>
<DT>c. the installation is successfully .</DT>
<BR>
All the corresponding files and directory will be installed under <BR>
/opt/smokeping/bin<BR>
/opt/smokeping/etc<BR>
/opt/smokeping/etc<BR>
/opt/smokeping/htdocs<BR>
/opt/smokeping/lib<BR>
/opt/smokeping/share<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I have to change the following dir to be -rwxrwxrwx- by every one , otherwise the apache2 web cgi will have error saying that "unable to write some files /opt/smokeping/cache/.., permission denied"<BR>
/opt/smokeping/cache<BR>
/opt/smokeping/data<BR>
/opt/smokeping/image<BR>
/opt/smokeping/var<BR>
<BR>
I can put my hosts (which are monitored for RTT) onto the /opt/smokeping/etc/config file and then <BR>
run the smokeing<BR>
eg.<BR>
sudo /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping -debug-daemon<BR>
successfully.<BR>
<BR>
However, the web page <A href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi">http://localhost/cgi-bin/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi</A> <BR>
does not show the <VERSION> of the smokeping.<BR>
<BR>
I execute the command line < sudo /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping -version><BR>
the output is nothing.<BR>
<BR>
I check the file <BR>
/opt/smokeping/lib/Smokeping.pm, the $VERSION is equal to "" as shown below:<BR>
<BR>
........<BR>
.........<BR>
$VERSION = ""<BR>
..........<BR>
........<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
then I add < 2.6.5> onto this variable as :<BR>
........<BR>
.........<BR>
$VERSION = "2.6.5"<BR>
..........<BR>
........<BR>
<BR>
and <BR>
execute the command line < sudo /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping -version> again,<BR>
the output will give me <2.6.5>.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Is there something wrong with my smokeping2.6.5 installation that cause the $VERSION="" inside the<BR>
/opt/smokeping/lib/Smokeping.pm module ?<BR>
<BR>
thanks for your advice !<BR>
