[smokeping-users] No data being displayed for slave machine

[David Tomic]

Hi guys ... another day, another problem!

I've tried setting up another machine to run as a slave, but I just 
cannot for the life of me seem to get it up and running properly.

I've got everything installed & configured, but the graphs just aren't 
registering any data for the slave machine.


The thing is, if I run the slave in --debug mode, then everything 
appears to be working perfectly:

david at david-slavebox:~$ sudo smokeping --master-url=http://192.168.1.123/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi --cache-dir=/var/smokeping/ --shared-secret=/etc/smokeping/secret.txt --debug
Sent data to Server and got new config in response.

Sent data to Server. Server said OK

The master has created the .rrd file for the slave, and it's showing it 
on the graph legend, but it's just reporting 'nan' for all its data.

I can't seem to find any error messages being reported on the master 
setup, so I've really got no idea where the actual problem is on this one?

My efforts in Google as well as searching through this list seemed to 
turn up a comments from people about making sure that smokeping.cgi has 
got write permission to the cache directory.

Does anyone know if that could be where I'm going wrong here [and if so 
exactly what I need to be doing to fix it]?

IE - Exactly which files/folders, on which machines, need which permissions.

Otherwise ... any other help/suggestions would be most welcome!
