[mrtg] RRDTool

[Thomas Brian Granier]

I'm trying to implement RRDTool and I'm having some problems with the
14all.cgi script working just right.

I'm running on Windows NT.

I have my pilot system which does the actual logging and I currently
have it configured to log in rrd format and that is working fine.

I have a separate system that is running IIS. that I intend to use as
the web front end, accessing the data on the pilot system. I won't go
into the detail of why I am doing this on two seperate systems, but it
wasn't a casual decision.

At any rate... I have installed RRDTool on my IIS system and I followed
the documentation as best I could. I converted some of my logs to rrd
format (just using a small sample set for test purposes right now) and
then tried to access them via the 14all.cgi. The first error message I
got was the it could not access the cfg file. I then checked my
definition for the config file and it was using the appropriate
\\server\share name\file name format. However it wasn't working. My next
step was to break the file name and the directory into two seperate with
the cfgfile pointing at file name and the cfg file directory pointing at
\\server\share name. This didn't work. Next I mapped a drive to the
share and access it in the cfgfile configuration by putting drive://file
name and this worked fine. 

Now for where I am stuck. When I pull up the page it appears I am
getting all the text and formatting on all of the pages I am supposed to
be getting, but none of my graphics are showing up at all. I've tried
looking through the documentation to find further information on where
to troubleshoot it. I did notice something with regards to needing a
temporary folder and the comment seemed to suggest that it is unknown if
the tmp variable would work in NT. At any rate, I played around with the
tmp directory stuff for a little while but didn't get very far.

If there's any additional information (config files, further explanation
of setup, etc..) just let me know and I'd be happy to provide it.
