<span style=" color: #800000;"><b>AT> Hello all,<br>
AT> <br>
AT> I think I have a problem with the permissions on the master system for /var/lib/smokeping/<br>
AT> <br>
AT> The config is wokring on the Slave system :<br>
AT> <br>
AT> root@smokeping-slave1:~# smokeping -restart<br>
AT> --master-url=http://10.16.0.91/smokeping/smokeping.cgi<br>
AT> --cache-dir=/var/smokeping/ <br>
AT> --shared-secret=/var/smokeping/secret.txt<br>
AT> Sent data to Server and got new config in response.<br>
AT> Note: logging to syslog as local0/info.<br>
AT> Daemonizing /usr/sbin/smokeping ...<br>
AT> root@smokeping-slave1:~#<br>
AT> <br>
AT> Debug mode tell me also “Sent data to Server. Server said OK”.<br>
AT> <br>
AT> But if I have a look to the apache error log<br>
AT> (/var/log/apache2/error.log)on the master Server I found this errors:<br>
