[smokeping-users] Severe lag when restarting Smokeping and webpage timing out.

[Brett Bronson]

Okay, it looks like I was actually using an older version of smokeping.
I've removed it and installed the latest version on the site and my config
is as follows:
http://pastebin.com/ZsLE8uCp

Before, I was able to get smokeping to work fine up until I added the
section:

+ nodes
menu = Render Node Latency
title = Render Node Latency (ICMP Pings)

++ larender001a
host = larender001a
++ larender001b
host = larender001b
++ larender001c
host = larender001c
++ larender001d
host = larender001d

++ larender002a
host = larender002a
++ larender002b
host = larender002b
++ larender002c
host = larender002c
++ larender002d
host = larender002d



Now that I look at the logs, it looks like it's still using the old
version....

offset 116 s.

probe.

offset 163 s.

probe.
Tue Mar  4 15:25:59 2014 - FPing: probing 13 targets with step 300 s and
offset 159 s.

Before, I used sudo apt-get install smokeping to install, but I later
removed it using sudo apt-get remove smokeping; however, it looks like it
didn't remove the old version? Any idea how I could resolve this so that it
loads up the newer version?
