alright,  i have changed the config file to ping one ip

heres the end of my config file:

        + FPing

        binary = /fping

        *** Targets ***

        probe = FPing

        menu = Top
        title = Network Latency Grapher
        remark = Welcome to the SmokePing website of xxx Company. \
                 Here you will learn all about the latency of our network.

        + LOCALHOST

        menu = LocalHost
        title = LocalHost (127.0.0.1)
        host = 127.0.0.1

then i run it:

        [chelle at smokeping smokeping]$ ./bin/smokeping
        ### fping seems to report in 1 miliseconds
        Daemonizing ./bin/smokeping ...

so now i get the regular process and a fping process:

        chelle   18616  0.1  2.3  7628 6072 ?        S    20:42   0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w ./bin/smokeping
        chelle   18617  0.1  0.2  1452  520 ?        R    20:42   0:00 /fping -C 20 -q -B1 -i10 -r1 127.0.0.1

        [chelle at smokeping smokeping]$ date
        Wed Feb 19 20:43:02 CST 2003

by the way i can ping 127.0.0.1:

        [chelle at smokeping smokeping]$ ping 127.0.0.1
        PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) from 127.0.0.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
        64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=35 usec

        --- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
        1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
        round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 0.035/0.035/0.035/0.000 ms

so i then check /var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/var/:

        [root at smokeping var]# ls -al
        total 2940
        drwxrwxrwx    3 chelle   chelle       4096 Feb 19 20:42 .
        drwxr-xr-x    9 chelle   chelle       4096 Feb 19 20:35 ..
        -rw-r--r--    1 chelle   chelle    2986668 Feb 19 20:45 LOCALHOST.rrd
        -rw-r--r--    1 chelle   chelle          6 Feb 19 20:42 smokeping.pid
        drwxrwxrwx    4 chelle   chelle       4096 Feb 18 17:27 World

so then i wait about 15 min:

        [chelle at smokeping smokeping]$ date
        Wed Feb 19 21:00:12 CST 2003

smokeping is still running:

        chelle   18616  0.0  2.3  7640 6112 ?        S    20:42   0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w ./bin/smokeping

so now i check the webpage @ http://smokeping.domain.com/cgi-bin/smokeping/smokeping.cgi

heres what i get:

        Internal Server Error
        The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. 
        Please contact the server administrator, root at localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have         caused the error. 
        More information about this error may be available in the server error log. 


        Apache/1.3.22 Server at smokeping.domain.com Port 80

so i check the error_log for apache:

        [Wed Feb 19 21:01:39 2003] [error] [client 207.218.193.24] malformed header from script. Bad header=Daemonizing /var/www/cgi-bin/s: /var/www/cgi-bin/smokeping/smokeping.cgi

and suexec_log hasnt been updated:
        [root at smokeping smokeping]# ls -al /var/log/httpd
        total 132
        drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Feb 18 16:26 .
        drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root         4096 Feb 16 04:02 ..
        -rw-r--r--    1 root     root        65949 Feb 19 21:01 access_log
        -rw-r--r--    1 root     root        14771 Feb 14 20:39 access_log.1
        -rw-r--r--    1 root     root        25931 Feb 19 21:01 error_log
        -rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1839 Feb 14 20:29 error_log.1
        -rw-r--r--    1 root     root          288 Feb 19 19:15 suexec_log

any other ideas?

thanks,
chelle
