[smokeping-users] For Boonie and also Help

[Tony Arcus]

Right I think I may be getting things to work.

Thanks Alexandre for your email I think I have all the bits finally  
worked out.

I am running a centos 6 server for a customer, with MailScanner,  
ClamAV, Spamassassin as a firewall and internal network monitor  
therefore my desire to have smokeping running.

Previously under Centos 5 my howto worked find and every things  
installed in a snap.
Since moving to Centos 6 I have been working though a heap of problems.
So my how to for Smokeping is here:

>> Hi
>> it's quite simple to install smokeping on centos 6, which version did you
>> install ?
>>
>> For the latest version, you must follow the "install" tutorial on
>> http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_install.en.html
>>
>> After that you must allow cgi execution in your httpd.conf for the
>> directory /var/www/html and if you have an .htaccess add those lines to
>> allow cgi execution:
>>
>> AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
>> Options +ExecCGI
>>
>> If you use "fcgi" you must enable EPEL depot : yum --enablerepo epel
>> then install fast-cgi and httpd-devel : yum install mod_fcgid httpd-devel
>>
>> After that you must edit your config file in /opt/smokeping/etc/config to
>> put the good link:
>> imgcache = /opt/smokeping/img
>> imgurl   = ../smokeping/img
>> datadir  = /opt/smokeping/data
>> piddir  = /opt/smokeping/var
>> cgiurl   = http://www.exemple.com/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi
>> smokemail = /opt/smokeping/etc/smokemail
>> tmail = /opt/smokeping/etc/tmail
>>
>> After that don't forget to create some directories like /opt/smokeping/img
>> /opt/smokeping/img/data and /opt/smokeping/img/var
>>
>> Now you could make symbolics links in your /var/www/html,  e.g :
>> ln -s /opt/smokeping/htdocs /var/www/html/smokeping
>> ln -s /opt/smokeping/img /var/www/html/smokeping
>>
>> And normally (maybe i'm going too fast) it's done !
>> maybe you will encountered some trouble about permissions.
>> In my case iput the file img in chmod 777 and the htdoc in 755
>>
>> Good luck and tell me if it's ok
>>
>> cheers
