[smokeping-users] SmokeTrace troubles

[Ryan LeBlanc]

Thanks for the reply Ged,

smokeping.cgi and tr.cgi are in the same directory.  smokeping.cgi works
perfectly.  I have ExecCGI turned on for this directory.  This is what
has me so confused.  Typically if Apache is complaining about executing
a cgi file in a certain directory, the error message is much more clear.
