Hi, This is my first time trying to install SmokePing. I installed using ports on a FreeBSD machine to learn.
I'm getting the following error trying to start SmokePing: Starting smokeping. ### assuming you are using an fping copy reporting in milliseconds ERROR: mkdir /usr/local/etc/smokeping/tmp/data/mysite2: Permission denied /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smokeping: WARNING: failed to start smokeping I created the tmp directory under /usr/local/etc/smokeping/ for lack of any documentation I could dig up. Permissions on this directory are: [r...@freebsd /usr/local/etc/smokeping]# ls -al tmp total 8 drwxr-xr-x 4 www www 512 Feb 3 00:11 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Feb 3 00:12 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 www www 512 Feb 3 00:11 data drwxr-xr-x 2 www www 512 Feb 3 00:11 var I'm assuming that smokeping runs under the Apache www account. Everything does work if chmod 777 the temp dir, but I don't think that's good practice. What's the proper permission to set here? Thanks mucho, Kim
