[smokeping-users] help installing smokeping

[Alberto Lopez]

Hi,
I´m had al sorts of problemas installing smokeping (since im a newbie), when
i thought i was thru the smokeping.cgi reported this error via browser:

ERROR: /home/monitor/Public/smokeping: mandatory variable 'General' not
defined

I think the problem resides on the config.dist archive, but i dont know
where, please help. I want smokeping to monitor two IP´s 208.50.197.234 and
206.222.28.98, below its pasted the config.dist.

Regards.

Alberto
