Package: smokeping
Version: 2.6.11-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.5
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I am installing smokeping on a new server to replace old smokeping server
I have configured and restarted smokeping like in previous server
but web GUI did not work. Error was 403 forbidden.
fcgi not working and I have limited knowledge so i didn't go that route.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I added these 3 lines to apache config file:
/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/smokeping.conf
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex index.html smokeping.cgi
There was no working fcgi file and no cgi file so I linked the cgi as
below
ln -s /usr/lib/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi
/usr/share/smokeping/www/smokeping.cgi
* What was the outcome of this action?
I could then open the web gui as expected
* What outcome did you expect instead?
