Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/telephone/LookingGlass/issues/32

I just installed the LookingGlass for testing and noticed that MTR and ping are not working, Host and Traceroute are working fine. I tried making changes to Ping function to below:

return $this->procExecute('ping --help', $host);

It didn't returned anything either. null reponse.

Also, file permissions are fine and there is no error log.

Any idea?

What OS?

The problem is permission (SUID) based. The short of it is ping and MTR need root permission to open a socket, but some OS' have tighter privileges which prevent your web user (www-user) from accessing the commands.

Try these commands:

sudo chmod u+s `which ping`
sudo chmod u+s `which ping6`
sudo chmod u+s `which mtr`
