1) Set SEL to permissive or disable. [At least for testing.]
(I'm not sure what you did about SEL, but do the above if you haven't already.)

2) Who owns/has permissions for the CGI? root only? Make sure Apache can serve 
it. [i.e. has permissions.]

Watching/reviewing the log files for Apache, and/or the debug output from 
smokeping is almost always quite useful. [And if you can't find what's wrong 
after doing so, that's the next thing I'd ask you for...]

Your problem, while not related to RRD read/writes [the typical problem for 
most people], still looks like a permissions issue to me - but the apache logs 
should tell you something.

Also, see the general FAQ that solves most problems:
https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/wiki/FAQ 

Once you have a base setup working, then you can turn SEL back on, if you like.

thx,
I tried that and also ran through the steps posted on 
http://www.wedebugyou.com/2012/11/how-to-install-and-configure-smokeping-on-centos-6/

at this point this is the error that now pops up in the logs:


 (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI 
server
 Premature end of script headers: smokeping.fcgi

has anyone seen this?  thx

I ran into this as well and found that it was SELinux blocking http 
connections. I stopped running the server I had this issue with but I have a 
note that I used "setbool httpd_can_network_connect=1" to fix this for my 
install.

hi all,
,
this is a new install of smokeping2.6.11 on centos6.6

compilation and installation ran fine without any issues.

the smokeping process itself is running...

however  all attempts to access  the url  
(http:<webserver>/smokeping/smokeping.cgi) errors out and apache error log 
shows the following

(13)Permission denied: exec of '/opt/smokeping/htdocs
/smokeping.fcgi' failed

Premature end of script headers: smokeping.fcgi


I'm stuck here, not sure where else to look.
