[smokeping-users] Re: smokeping.cgi webpage problems

[Ian Fraser]

Try to start smokeping like this (assuming the smokeping script is in
/usr/local/smokeping/bin)

cd /usr/local/smokeping  

./bin/smokeping 

I found on apache that if I called smokeping directly it would then have
problems finding the pm's.

May help

Subject: [smokeping-users] smokeping.cgi webpage problems

Hello List!
I'm having a problem accessing the smokeping.cgi webpage on my
Mandrake/Apache server. When I try to access
http://192.192.1.50/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi, the browser displays the
following message.........
"The Server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request"

Checked the apache logs...

Premature end of script headers: smokeping.cgi

The smokeping.cgi is located in the default cgi directory
/var/www/cgi-bin from which I can execute other cgi's. 

When I execute the cgi manually, I do not see any errors..
/var/www/cgi-bin perl smokeping.cgi

The weblog states that it can't locate Smokeping.pm, but when I use the
path mentioned in the error log from /var/www/cgi-bin, it finds it no
problem..

[root at nagios2 cgi-bin]#

The error log also mentions a problem with smokeping.cgi line 7

[root at nagios2 cgi-bin]#cat smokeping.cgi #!/usr/bin/speedy -w #
-*-perl-*-

use lib qw(/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.6/lib/perl/5.8.5);
use lib qw(/home/mp/tmp/smokeping_stuff/smokeping-2.0.5/lib);

use Smokeping 2.000005;
 
Smokeping::cgi("/home/mp/tmp/smokeping_stuff/smokeping-2.0.5/etc/config"
);

I did not modify line 7.  I'm guessing that this issue has something to
do with permissions. I have limited experience with linux, but have
successfully loaded several programs such as Nagios in the past. Have
spent many hours trying to figure this out. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated! Cheers!
