[mrtg] Re: mrtg/Perl install..

[Paul C. Williamson]

Where are you running perl cfgmaker from?  If the directory where cfgmaker is located is not in your path, you will need to go there.  Typically, when I run cfgmaker, it's something like this, in the directory where mrtg/run is located:

perl cfgmaker public at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > ../cfgs/interface.cfg

This creates a config file called interface.cfg in a cfgs directory where all your other cfgs should be.  To simplify things, my file names are actually the alphabetical location for branch connections I am monitoring, like branch_a.cfg instead of interface.cfg.  When I want to add another router to the existing cfg file, I change the ">" to a ">>".

Good luck!  Once you get it working, it is one of the coolest programs out there!

thank you!!!! 
However, I still have a problem. I did download and run the compressed exe
file for ActivePerl 5.6 and it appears to have installed correctly. 
But, when I run perl cfgmaker it says: Can't open perl script "cfgmaker": No
such file or directory. 
I took all the defaults when I ran Perl. Can you or somebody else help?

I am running Win NT4.0 Service Pack 5. and will be trying to configure
mrtg2.8.12, once I get Perl to work properly.

Hi Felicia,

try ActivePerl from http://www.activestate.com/ 

It is available via installable compressed exe-file.

to your path (previous post)

Symantec thinks, you should be able to start pcAW
from commandline from every actual workdirectory.
Therefore they add that directory to your path.
Shouldn't be a problem.

bye,

 Joerg Helmert

Ok, I went to the Perl site and downloaded the Perl 6.0 program and
installed it on my server. 
However, the instructions say to get the "Perl Binaries" am I missing
something? 

I thought I did install Perl. When I try to run cfgmaker it says it doesn't
exist. So, I went back to the instructions and went to a command prompt and
tried to run 
perlw32-install.bat and it says it doesn't exist, 

HELP!!!!

Felicia
