[smokeping-users] smokeping-users Digest, Vol 142, Issue 6

[Gregory Guthrie]

Smokeping usage and install problems:

The problems boil down to;

1) Smokeping itself [or more clearly, the user smokeping is running as - and remember it may run as root at the CLI, but as something different when started by the system] can't write to the RRDs or the directory where the RRD's are to be stored.

2) The web-server can't *read* the RRD's because it doesn't have rights.



[far less common, but the same base issue]

3) In master/slave setups - the slaves [via the web-server] can't write to the RRD's - because the web-server doesn't have rights to the RRDs.



These errors are so common, ti would be nice to have a small script that would run a quick audit/check on all permissions!



I have an install that ran fine for years, and then on a system & Tomcat upgrade now has permissions problems - .cgi access permissions denied.
