[smokeping-users] Apache errors...

Thu Feb 26 23:18:35 CET 2009

You should just try to reinstall the package.
It is working without problems in Ubuntu, i installed it in Ubuntu about 
two weeks ago.
Just:
In Gnome go:
menu System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager
in menu Settings - Repositories verify that you have Universe packages 
selected (if you want to have access to more software, check all)
Confirm and Reload sources.
Search for Smokeping.
If the package is installed, choose Mark for complete removal.
Remove the package.
Check the contents of folders where you have been adding files and 
making directories (probably /var/www/ and /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ and maybe 
/var/lib/smokeping/) and delete all smokeping-related files you might 
added there.
Then search for it again in Synaptic and install it.
If your Ubuntu system is not somehow havilly modified (or broken), it 
will work after you type
http://localhost/cgi/bin/smokeping.cgi in your browser in that machine.
As far as i remember, there were no problems, you should not need to set 
any permissions or copy files.
It seems to me you tried to configure it manually, but there is no need 
to do that in Ubuntu.
Then you should read the Smokeping documentation how to set the targets 
you want to ping. (BTW you should probably read it BEFORE you decide to 
install it).
If this fails, you probably should uninstall Ubuntu and install Windows. :)
Or at least use Google and search for "how to install software in Ubuntu".
