[smokeping-users] Re: Instalation problem - maybe perl

[Peter Hawks]

Marc,

thanks a lot for the infos you taught me. They were very useful. It seems 
now that smokeping started working. It has already created the directory 
with the .rrds , then it seems to be working.
But now I am going to ask for your help for another problem. Despite it runs 
storing the infos in the .rrds, I can't see them because there are some 
errors like:
1) The smokeping.cgi (actually pxt.cgi) file wasn't at the 
/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin directory when I started smokeping. I had to put 
it manually (I don't know if it is the correct way)
2) After I had put the smokeping.cgi in the cgi-bin directory, the template 
of Smokeping started working, but it doesn't show the graphics. It accuses 
some problems like:
- ERROR: Opening '/usr/local/apache/pid/pxt/BRA/router1a_mini.png' for 
write: Permission denied
- ERROR: Opening '/usr/local/apache/pid/pxt/BRA/router1b_mini.png' for 
write: Permission denied
- ERROR: creating  /usr/local/apache/pid/pxt/BRA/router1a: No such file or 
directory
- ERROR: creating  /usr/local/apache/pid/pxt/BRA/router1b: No such file or 
directory

Here is a copy of my config file and my smokeping.cgi (acctualy pxt.cgi) 
file. Idon't know if they might help, but...

Smokeping::cgi("/usr/local/smokeping-1.18/etc/config");


BEGIN {
    if ($ENV{SERVER_SOFTWARE}) {
        $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { print "Content-Type:

; };
        $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { print "Content-Type: 
text/plain\n\n".(shift)."\n";
exit 1 }
    };
}


I don't know if it is a problem with SpeedyCGI or RRDtool. What do you 
think?
Thanks a lot Marc, you're helping me a lot. I think without your help I 
would never make it work.
