[smokeping-users] Master/Slave Configuration Help Please!

Mon Jan 24 23:11:53 CET 2011

I verified that all of my paths are correct in smokeping.cgi, killed 
speedy_backend, and restarted SmokePing on the master node, but I still 
get ...

WARNING Master said 500 Can't connect to smokemaster:80 (connect: timeout)
ERROR: we did not get config from the master. Maybe we are not 
configured as a slave for any of the targets on the master ?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
