[hobbit] Can't generate spreadsheet

[Matthew Moldvan]

Couldn't reproduce your error, but for what it's worth, check which user 
your Apache processes are running as and make sure that user is either the 
owner or in the group of your /rep folder.

You can change which user Apache runs as in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (or 
equivalent) around line 227 of the file (see below).

Good luck!
Matt.

# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
#  . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
#    suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
#  don't use Group #-1 on these systems!

[hobbit] Can't generate spreadsheet




When I try to generate a spreadsheet from a availability page I get the 
followind error: 

Could not generate report.
Check that the /home/xymon/server/www/rep/ directory has permissions 
'-rwxrwxr-x' (775)
and that is is set to group 8 

Permissions and group ownership are as requested. Generating the same 
report 
as HTML report works - it is written into the above mentioned directory. 

Xymon version is  4.3.0-0.beta2 and operating system openSuSE 11.1. 

Any hints?
