[smokeping-users] Apache errors...

[Peter Kristolaitis]

As Niko said, this is just plainly wrong.

The fact that you can even do an ls there should tell you that
smokeping.cgi is a directory (which happens to be empty), not a file.

You can't execute a directory.  You need the smokeping.cgi file that
comes with the SmokePing distribution.
