Hi Greg<br>
<br>
I managed to fix the the issue by as you say giving www-data access
to the RRD files. <br>
<br>
The problem is I don't want to have to do this for every RRD file
that is created.<br>
<br>
Do you happen to have the link to the messages for mod'ing the
startup script?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help<br>
<br>
NIck <br>

<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">www-data
needs rights to write to the RRD files.<br>
<br>
A search for "slave permissions" will probably give a few more
pointers from the list since this is a common issue.<br>
changing ownership and rights should set you right.<br>
[Even better, mod'ing the startup script to change all the RRD
files so they are www-data writeable - this way new slave setups
won't get borked if you forget to mod them...a post in the last
day or two showed a good example of this.]<br>

I am pulling my hair out trying to get the slave graphs
to update on the master server.<br>
<br>
I have ran the debug on the slave and can it executing
the probe and sending the data to the master. apparently
the server acknowledges it, but nothing appears on the
webpage.<br>
<br>
<br>
This is how the apache and smokeping process run:<br>
<span style=" font-size: 7pt;"># ps -ef | grep apache<br>
root 987 1 0 22:45 ? 00:00:00
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start<br>

/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start<br>
www-data 992 987 0 22:45 ? 00:00:00
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start<br>
<br>
# ps -ef | grep smokeping<br>
106 1706 1 0 23:05 ? 00:00:00
/usr/sbin/smokeping [FPing]<br>
<br>
<span style=" font-size: 9pt;">There is nothing in
/var/log/syslog to suggest why this is not working.<br>
<br>
There is however these in
/var/log/apache2/error.log. The problem is that
those files don't exist<br>
