[smokeping-users] Permission problem on master server

Hello all,

the problem is still occurring. :(

Has anyone an idea how I have to change the permissions for the folder that the "Permission denied" error is no longer occurring?

Betreff: AW: [smokeping-users] Permission problem on master server

Hi Greg,

root at smokeping-master:/var/lib/smokeping/Local# chmod g+w :/var/lib/smokeping/Local
chmod: cannot access `:/var/lib/smokeping/Local': No such file or directory

So I run following command on master and slave without any error:

root at smokeping-master:/var/lib/smokeping/Local# chmod g+w -R /var/lib/smokeping/*


Now I can't find an new error in the apache log file (since the last 15 minutes) but I'm still not seeing the Graph on the website from the master :(

Any idea?

Thanks.
Tobias

So, it looks like Apache doesn't have rights to create the cache directory.

See:
drwxr-xr-x 2 smokeping www-data    4096 Jul  1 14:28 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 smokeping www-data    4096 Jul  1 14:28 ..

So, assuming I'm right:
chmod g+w :/var/lib/smokeping/Local

This would make that directory RW for the group [www-data]

However, I'll be surprised if the slaves can write to the RRD's either, since they're also r-- for the group, so you'll probably want to use the same chmod command on them.

Thank you for your reply.

root at smokeping-master:~# ls -al /var/lib/smokeping/Local/LocalMachine.smokeping-slave1.slave_cache
ls: cannot access /var/lib/smokeping/Local/LocalMachine.smokeping-slave1.slave_cache: No such file or directory

If I run it in this way I got the following output:

root at smokeping-master:/var/lib/smokeping/Local# ls -al
