<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">See the FAQ. Honestly, it solves like 90% of the questions.<br>

<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">Also, selinux and/or the Ubuntu/debian equivalent. [I can't ever remember the name] They can cause lots of problems. Set them as permissive, or completely disable them. Once you've got a working setup, you can turn them back on and tweak as needed.<br>
<br>
As an feeble attempt to offer a suggestion, given the paucity of data from you: Can the user who started SP in debug mode create these directories/files from a manual command line (i.e. mkdir -p <span style=" font-family:'calibri'; font-size: 11pt;">/opt/smokeping/data/test)<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">? If not, then it's a permissions problem, not a smokeping problem.<br>
<br>
If the above doesn't help: [But really, follow the docs and the FAQ. Do a search on the mailing list archives. You'll almost certainly find a similar situation and fix there.]<br>
<br>
<br>
1) A debug log would be good. :)<br>
2) We'd also like to know what distribution and version, and how you installed SP. [Sources or packages?]<br>
3) Perhaps strip the log-file to minimums - and if it doesn't work, post the [minimum] config.<br>
[You'll have to provide a lot more detail than you've done for us to help you.]<br>

<br>
I’m stuck with permissions and whichever folders. So far I’ve got it compiled and all modules included, but when I go to start the daemon in debug mode, it stops at the point where it is trying to make the /opt/smokeping/data/test directory with a permission denied notice.<br>
<br>
I’m also confused on what needs to happen to get the web interface working.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to using this product, once I get it configured correctly.<br>
