hmmm this smells a lot like problems with permissions. here's a
suggestion of steps to follow to figure more information about the
situation:
1. check out which user your web server is running the cgi as (if I'm
not mistaken it might be "apache" in centos -- you can see the user
under which apache runs in your "ps aux" output)
2. "su" as that user and then run the CGI in the same way as you did
with root -- unfortunately, as far as I understand the code, the only
logging that's happening when running the cgi is output as html elements
in the resulting output.. so you'll have to use strace to figure out if
some permissions error are happening:
# su -s /bin/bash - apache
apache$ strace -e trace=file /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi
/opt/smokeping/etc/config
if I'm not mistaken this should show you if some file access has
permission errors.
