[smokeping-users] Trouble Starting Smokeping

[Romeo]

There was an old version apache 1.3.4_1 when I try to install apache22 
there's an error because it can't install apache22 because there is 
existing one. So do i need to repeat everything I've done by deinstall 
smokeping? I think for me to erase apache 1.3 i need to deinstall 
smokeping first? this is the config I've done;

|# find /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs/img -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
# find /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs/img -type f -exec chmod 666 {} \;|
