    Did you miss the configuration of Apache, I think you should not be able to access the http://localhost/smokeping without configuring the httpd.conf file. Am I right?

    The problem has been fixed – I used the wrong package :( the correct one is perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI.i386, but I installed speedycgi.i386. Now it is working!! BTW, there 2 points you need to know:
    1) Uncomment ‘AddHandler cgi-script .cgi’ in the httpd.conf file
    2) The Smokeping URL is http://IP address/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi

    Last but not least – Martin, this is great site :)

    Hi,

    I have installed everything and edited apache file. Smokeping and apache are running but I do not get any graphs displayed. Can someone please help with what might be the cause?

    Thanks,

    Pat

    Hi,

    I have gone through the install and set everything up however I am not getting my graphs to display. Can someone please tell me what I might be missing? I setup my apache httpd.conf file as Jackie said but still no graphs are drawn. Smokeping is running and so is apache.
