What distribution are you using (update your profile). If your distribution uses SELinux, check your /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log for AVC messages.

Im using ubuntu.

The file sensord.rrd file is being created (as in var/log/sensord.rrd)


Is it something to do with the code

Quote:
chown www-data:staff /var/www/sensord
Does
Quote:
www-data:staff
apply to me?

macemoneta 11-06-2006 11:06 AM
The terms www-data:staff mean userid=www-data and group=staff. If you don't have that userid and group, then it does not apply to you.

Sorry, im receiving
Code:
sensord failed
in /var/log/messages


But before that in /var/log/messages it says
Code:
sensord starting
and i am getting a file sensord.rrd in /var/log (which i cant open)so it seems to be half working.

meniscus 11-06-2006 11:10 AM
how do i find out these ids?

meniscus 11-06-2006 11:25 AM
I typed id to get the user and group id. My userid and group id are the same(myname)

So i typed this

Code:
chown www-meniscus:meniscus /var/www/sensord
and received

Code:
chown 'www-meniscus:meniscus' : invalid user
Is it something stupid im doing wrong?
