Good Morning all and special hello to Gregory (Sloop)!
Greg (Stucky),
I think you may be mixed up in your approach to solve the matter, as you
are trying more than one thing at once.
First of all keep in mind that when compiling smokeping for OpenSuSE
12.3 will put smokeping directory in /opt/ and your original config file
will be in /opt/smokeping/etc/. So in this scenario if you run smokeping
from the command line (not through the init script at boot) you will
need to provide the path to the config. When you run in debug mode you
still need to provide the option about where the config file is. There
are detailed instructions in the documentation about installing
Smokeping which you can follow to the letter.
For OpenSuSE you have another option for installation which is through
the Server Monitoring repository (you can find that one under
http://download.opensuse.org/, you will need to add that repository
using Yast, the url I have added is
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/openSUSE_12
.3/ ). If you add that repository you will have no problem installing
all the packages you need through YAST. In that case the smokeping file
paths are different, and you should try to locate exactly where your
files are (I believe that the config file should be under /etc/
somewhere, locate the rest through YAST or use your favorite searching
method).
Depending on what installation you preferred the paths contained in the
config file may be different. There are also relative and absolute paths
in the config. Supposing everything works correctly about the paths to
your necessary libraries (for example rrdtool), you still need to
provide the correct path to the data and images folders. You should be
very carefull there about which path is absolute (meaning you have to
provide the whole path starting from root) and which one is relative the
smokeping web dir or the Apache root dir.
Your course of action should include the following steps in my opinion:
-Try to verify locations in the config file first (keeping in mind what
I told you about relative and absolute paths).
- Run smokeping with the debug option but including the option which
points to your config file, and an option to include a log in the
smokeping dir (take a loot at instructions in the documentation, my
typical command line looks like this:
bin/smokeping --config=/opt/smokeping/etc/config
--logfile=/opt/smokeping/smoke.log, which I use from the dir
/opt/smokeping/
This will create/append a log file called smoke.log in
the smokeping dir which you can take a look at with a command like this:
tail --lines=500 smoke.log
So first take a look at what smokeping tells you on the
command line (with the debug option) and also on the log file.
- Check the apache logs (I don't remember exactly where those are right
now but it should not be so hard to find) and see what you info you can
gather from there.
I believe after doing these you will have enough information to pinpoint
exactly at which point you have made a mistake.
If you see rrd files getting created but no graphs most of the time it's
the permissions on the apache directories for smokeping. If under the
apache root, make sure that the apache user has full write access rights
to those folders and files.
Or you could be making a mistake in declaring where your image files
should be for example this is my config section with the file paths (I
removed my hostname):
imgcache = /srv/www/htdocs/smokeping/cache
imgurl = ../smokeping/cache
datadir = /srv/www/htdocs/smokeping/data
piddir = /opt/smokeping/var
cgiurl = http://<hostname>/cgi-bin/smokeping.fcgi
smokemail = /opt/smokeping/etc/smokemail
tmail = /opt/smokeping/etc/tmail
.
.
.
template = /opt/smokeping/etc/basepage.html
If you are using the cool zoom feature (cropper) you should also modify
the html template file (the one in the path declared in the config file)
to properly adjust the location of the cropper directory (or adjust
cropper's location to match the path in the template file.
In this case I have compiled smokeping from sources.
Here is how my apache root dir looks like:
/srv/www/htdocs # ls -al
total 2087960
drwxr-xr-x 8 wwwrun www 4096 Jun 28 22:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Nov 20 2012 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 22 2012 cropper
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 302 Mar 13 2006 favicon.ico
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 20 2012 gif
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44 Nov 20 2004 index.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2356 Jun 23 2012 info2html.css
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 27 23:57 phpMyAdmin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 Mar 28 23:51 robots.txt
drwxr-xr-x 4 wwwrun www 4096 Dec 4 2012 smokeping
In this case you can see that I have placed cropper in the same starting
place as smokeping so in basepage.html this is what I have declared:
<script src="/cropper/lib/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script
src="/cropper/lib/scriptaculous.js?load=builder,effects,dragdrop" type="
text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/cropper/cropper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/cropper/smokeping-zoom.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
Notice the / sign before cropper stating that it's located in the apache
root dir.
This is how my smokeping web dir looks like:
/srv/www/htdocs/smokeping # ls -al
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 wwwrun www 4096 Dec 4 2012 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 wwwrun www 4096 Jun 28 22:11 ..
drwxr-xr-x 8 wwwrun www 4096 Dec 13 2012 cache
drwxr-xr-x 7 wwwrun www 4096 Dec 4 2012 data
I hope these help. If you come to a specific conclusion and still need
help, don't hesitate to ask.
Everyone this setup does work, however if you see something that doesn't
fit as well as it should please comment so that the help given is 100%
correct.
Greetings to all,
Have a nice weekend!

Sorry, I meant to submit to the users group.
I think it is an Apache2 issue. I uninstalled Apache and reinstalled it
and now I get a permissions error on all HTML files. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

Well, that's what it is complaining about.
My guess is: there really is something wrong with that
directory/perms.
Make sure there isn't a problem...
I suppose it could be some thing else in the config, so do you
mind giving the config.
(And we should probably go back on-list, so others can help)

/var/lib/smokeping/data/MyLocs/Server1 does exist. I also made a copy
of smokeping and called it smokeping.cgi in the cgi-bin folder and i get
the same error message

Does the above dir exist, and does the user smokeping is running
as have rights?
