I am just guessing here as I can not tell enough about your
configuration as you have not posted it and you would need to post your
apache configs also.<br>
<br>
In short, the mrtg process needs r/w access to the directories for
these files as it runs(the user it runs as via cron) and further apache
needs to have access to them and in apache's httpd.conf, you need to
correctly point it to the files mrtg is creating.<br>
<br>
But I really recommend from what you are saying that you need to not do
native database and rateup and move immediately to rrdtool and
routers2.cgi. It will make your life easier and you don't have to
build any html files to get to the graphs. And the graphs will be
created as they are requested.<br>

get a page, but that has problems. It looks like it tried

create a page /var/www/mrtg/192.191.191.21_3.html, and
192.191.191.21_6.html

is a good way to organize many devices? I was
thinking of building a cfg directory under the mrtg. It looks like each
device
will have many associated html files and that could get complicated.
Then
perhaps one master page with a link to all the individual pages I’ve
made with
indexmaker. What did you do?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

use rrdtool and Routers2.cgi and stop rebuilding those .png files every

Huge waste of CPU cycles and severely limits the number of devices you
