Bug 854804

Description of problem:

After setting up a brand new install of smokeping on F16, the web interface reports errors creating directories and files under /var/lib/smokeping/images, but only if smokeping is installed before httpd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
smokeping-2.4.2-16.fc16.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a fresh F16 install without httpd, OR:
   yum remove httpd
   userdel apache
2. yum install smokeping
3. yum install httpd
4. systemctl start httpd.service
5. systemctl start smokeping.service
6. Visit http://localhost/smokeping/sm.cgi and click on Fedora
  
Actual results:

Installing : smokeping-2.4.2-16.fc16.noarch 52/52 
warning: user apache does not exist - using root

Then when visiting the website and clicking on Fedora:

Software error:

ERROR: creating  /var/lib/smokeping/images/Ping: No such file or directory
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (root@localhost), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


# ls -l /var/lib/smokeping/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jan 22  2012 images
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Sep  5 22:39 rrd

[root@t /]# ls -l /var/lib/smokeping/images
total 0


Expected results:

Require httpd to be installed first, so the apache user exists before smokeping is installed.
