You can choose to copy it in the webroot directory (probably /var/www/ in that case) or under the smokeping web directory (check your config file to see where that is). There is a cross reference for cropper in the basepage.html file so what you do needs to reflect that. There are absolute references and relative references for that and the graphs in the config and the basepage.html so you need to be careful there. I don’t remember those by heart so get started with the main smokeping features and we can work out cropper later if you still have problems. You will probably go through graph creation issues first (usually file rights issues) before you run into those.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The cgi files usually go in a separate folder than the rest of the web documents (for example the cropper dir or the smokeping graph images and data).
