[smokeping-users] PNG Saving errors

[Nicolas KARP]

Hi staticsafe,

Check what user is used to run the webserver. This user need write access
to the cache directory which i guess is for you :
/usr/local/smokeping/htdocs/img

What you can do if you want is to add this user in the  group called
"smokeping" so as the directory and files are owed by smokeping, this user
would have automatically write access to all the files in this directory.

Do me on Centos :  /etc/group (Apache is my webserver)
smokeping:x:498:apache

Best Regards,
