As part of your error message says:

Quote:

Try to set your webserver as owner of /var/www/website-one/neosmart-stream/

As Neo has already post, your web server (process) does not have the required access rights to the files in question. This is typically fixed by changing the owner of the whole tree to the webserver user (eg, on Solaris x86 this is "webservd"). Or your web server may be running under userid "apache" for example.

To help you more we need to know the environment (O/S, webserver, etc) but you'll be pleased to know that your issue is not unusual at all when installing a web server. It happens all the time upon initial install.

HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)						File Formats Manual					      HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)

NAME

       hobbit-nkview.cfg - Configuration of the hobbitgraph CGI

SYNOPSIS

       $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-nkview.cgi(1)  uses  the	configuration  file $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg to determine which of the statuses currently in a red or
       yellow state should appear on the Critical Systems view.

       This file should not be edited manually. It is maintained by the hobbit-nkeedit.cgi(1) utility via a web-based frontend.

FILE PERMISSIONS

       Since the file is maintained by a web front-end tool, the userid running Web CGI scripts must have write-permission  to	the  file.   Typi-
       cally, this means it must have a group-ownership matching your webserver userid, and group-write permissions (mode 664).

       When  editing  the  file  with the web front-end, a backup file is created.  Therefore the hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak file should have identical
       permissions.
