Hey,

I have successfully run this in command prompt but
have not been able to run it on the browser…
When I enter the path http://127.0.0.1/cgi/smokeping.pl
the perl command runs and then disappears but nothing appears on the browser…
I am using IIS as the server…

Please help me with this.
Would appreciate an answer as soon as possible….

Thanks~

I've installed it on Windows 7 and everything seemed OK until I tried to actually test fping out and found out that it didn't work.

I've turned on Windows XP compatibility for fping and it runs but in a different process so the output isn't actually captured by smokeping. Is there any solution for this?

I'm struggeling a bit with running the script. It just quits after i've entered alerts: Sender email, and nothing is beeing copyed into C:\smokeping-2.2.4. What am i doing wrong? I've installed wamp and ActivePerl-5.8.8.822. Have tryed several perl versions with the same result :( If i remove perl and reinstall it again i get a bit further. The script then installs rrd's and then stops. Any suggestions?

Great post. It was a snap to install smokeping on my windows box and get things up and running.

I only had one question – fping on windows only seems to give ping times in millisecond resolution. It does not seem to provide resolution at the microsecond (or rather 1/10 ms) scale. Is there any fix for this? I would very much like to have ping time resolution < 1 ms as some of our connectivity have very low latency and therefore 1ms is not enough granularity.

Well I tried a few things – and it seems to be working now.

1) Downgraded to ActivePerl-5.8.8.822
2) Restarted the server
3) I noticed that the wamp was "offline", so I did "start all services" and then "Put online"

After doing the above (not sure which helped or not!), I ran the "install n patch.pl" again and this time it went through the install process.
Set up some targets and am now in the process of capturing some data…

hmm it seems to be cutting the second point, pretty much i did what it mentions at the top of the blog (the second change to http.conf)
