Smokeping installation fun

I’ve attempted to install smokeping many times before, sometimes successful and sometimes not. I decided today to give it a shot again and struggle through it. At first I thought I was going to have to go through an immense amount of trouble as I had remembered from the past, but I was wrong. It seems the new smokeping ebuild with the apache2 USE flag makes it extremely easy. After realizing this, it was as simple as editing

/etc/smokeping/config

, starting the init script, and pointing my browser to

localhost/cgi-bin/smokeping.pl

. (I already had -D PERL added to apache and edited the installed smokeping.conf module to allow anyone to access it)

I’ve never been able to install smokeping this easily before. I just want to give a thanks to the developers that worked on the smokeping ebuild to make it this easy.

Now if only I could get

foohost/cgi-bin/smokeping.pl

to just

foohost/smokeping
