nmidSmokePing issue

[amrit.singh]

Hi,

To begin with, I would like to inform you that I am new to cacti. I have a cacti installation which is monitoring and plotting the graphs as desired. However, when I installed the NMID plugin as I intended to do a SmokePing monitoring, I am facing issues. After the installation and doing the configurations as suggested in the docs, I am getting the following error in the /var/log/httpd/erro_log. The OS is RHEL 5 and the perl version installed is 5.8.8. Also, the PHP version is 5 as well.

Hi, Do a "touch /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/nmid/config.php" on the command line and set the permissions accordingly (read/writeable for the web-server). That should fix the errors.
