[smokeping-users] Graph error

[Peter Kristolaitis]

Hi Peter;

The error looks like it is caused by directory permissions:

---- snip ----

cd /usr/local/smokeping/var/World/

[root at test World]# ls -lah

total 32K

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Apr 18 14:34 .

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Apr 18 14:34 ..

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Apr 18 14:34 Europe

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Apr 18 18:04 USA

---- snip ----

Those directories need to be writable by whatever UID Apache (or
whatever HTTP daemon you're using) runs as on your system.

You'll want to check all of the following directories (defined in your
SmokePing config file) as well:
    imgcache = /var/www/smokeping/img
        -> Must be writable by your HTTP daemon UID
    pagedir  = /var/www/smokeping
        -> Must be readable (not writable, content is static) by your
HTTP daemon UID
    datadir  = /var/db/smokeping
        -> Must be writable by the UID the SmokePing daemon runs as and
readable by your HTTP daemon UID
    piddir  = /var/run/smokeping
        -> Must be writable by the UID the SmokePing daemon runs as


Cheers,
- Peter
