[smokeping-users] Re: Can't locate Smokeping.pm in @INC

[Sawan Gupta]

Thanks a lo for your kind and quick help.
It worked. I moved the smokeping directory to /home and now things worked.

I am a Linux newbie so I couldn't guess that webserver didn't had
access to those directories.

Thanks once again for your valuable time.


Warm Regards,

Sawan Gupta
