[Gllug] MRTG help please

[Charles Holtzkampf]

Ive realised now that we are also running MRTG on a windows machine. And
everytime I update the MRTG on my linux box it seems to update the windows
html files. Is this possible ?
Will running MRTG on two machines probing the same switches cause any
problems ?
 
thanks
Charles

Howdy 

Can a question about MRTG. 
I installed mrtg-2.10.11. with gd-2.0.22,  libpng-1.2.5 and zlib 1.2.1. 
And running Apache apache_1.3.29. 

It installed zlib first, then libpng and then gd. All when fine without any
hickups, I think.(no errors showed up and everything compiled without
complaints)

I created the mrtg.cfg file and then tried to run mrtg using the following. 
/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/local/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg
--logging=/var/log/mrtg.log 

It complained about my envioroment, namely the lang setting. I edited
/etc/sysconfig/i18n and changed it to "en_GB" instead of "en_GB.UTF-8".

Rebooted the machine and ran the command again. 

This time it ran for about 5 seconds before going back to the shell. But it
didn't create any files in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/mrtg, or anywhere else
for that matter.

Here is my mrtg.cfg 

# Created by 
# /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir:
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits' --global
'IconDir: icons' --snmp-options=:::::2 --subdirs=HOSTNAME --ifref=ip
--ifdesc=alias --output /usr/local/mrtg-2/cfg/mrtg.cfg doogie at 192.168.0.1

public at 10.11.0.4 public at 10.11.0.5


### Global Config Options 

#  for UNIX 
# WorkDir: /home/http/mrtg 

#  or for NT 
# WorkDir: c:\mrtgdata 

### Global Defaults 

#  to get bits instead of bytes and graphs growing to the right 
# Options[_]: growright, bits 

EnableIPv6: no 
WorkDir: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/mrtg 
Options[_]: bits, growright   
IconDir: icons 



AND  my mrtg.log 

2004-04-16 14:30:14 -- Started mrtg 

. 

I have 5 systems to check and two of them have quite a few ports that are in
use, could it be that its still creating those files ?

Im confused? 

Thanks 
Charles
