[smokeping-users] Problem showing graphs in OPenSUSE 12.3

Fri Aug 23 16:26:16 CEST 2013

Glad you got it working, it’s the ownership or write persmissions most of the time (that’s why I included the directory listings for you but also the suggestion that most times it’s the permissions. You see I had also the same problem in the past and someone in the list suggested to take a look at the permissions, just pushing it forward..).

Thanks for the posts.   I verified all of this before I posted the initial message.  I think it is working now and it turned out to be an Apache permissions error.  The user/owner were set wrong on the www directories and giving them explicit rights in advanced permissions did not work.  I rest the permissions on www and applied them to all sub directories and it is now running.

Thanks again to everyone who assisted.

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.

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)

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