[mrtg] SOLVED - Error when using the Directory[] feature

[Brander, Eric]

For some reason, the relative paths (..\log, ..\www, etc) were not
appreciated by MRTG when using Directory[].  Putting a specific path fixed
the problem. (\mrtg\log, \mrtg\www, etc)

Yes, same result.  Here is what gets output when I tried to run a test cfg.
It has an additional error message that I didn't catch before.  Again, this
only happens if I have the Directory[] set. (in this case, I have
Directory[test_1]: test)

Have you tried using a capital "D" for Directory?

If I take out or comment out the directory[] line, it works just fine but
puts everything in the specified dirs.  At initial run time it says that it
can't find the directory and creates it - and it does create the
subdirectories correctly under the respective dirs.
Win2k, MRTG 2.9.25

TIA,

Eric
