[smokeping-users] smoketrace window

[Michael Dafforn]

Tobi,

Thanks for the reply!

I had the smokeping.cgi in the cgi-bin directory, since your message I
have moved it to /var/www/html, no change.

I thought .cgi files needed to be executed, I am confused by your
statement " don't do this ... the cgi will be
executed because they end in .cgi ..."

In order to get it to run, I have to add the execcgi command to the
directory within the httpd.conf and .htaccess, so again, your statement
confuses me, as the execute option is needed to make it work.

This is what I have:

/var/www/html/

-rw-r--r--  1 apache apache 1881 Feb  4  2008 basepage.html
drwxr-xr-x  3 apache apache 4096 Feb  4  2008 cropper

-rw-r--r--  1 apache apache  306 Mar 21  2008 web1.htm


/var/www/html/script/

-rw-r--r--  1 apache apache 669555 Jun 11  2008 Tr.js


Thanks for your time!

Mike

Michael,

I guess your problem is, that you have stored the smokeping files
in a cgi-bin directory ... don't do this ... the cgi will be
executed because they end in .cgi ...
