[mrtg] Re: mrtg rrdtool mrtg-rrd.cgi

[Aldo Salinas]

This is what I have 

BEGIN { @config_files = qw(/path/to/mrtg1.cfg); }

and I still don't see any graphics.

I also tried

http://host/cgi-bin/mrtg-rrd.cgi/target.html 

and i get this

Error: RRDs::graph failed, Opening
'/var/www/html/mrtg/129.113.104.1_1-day.png' for write: Permission denied

What does this mean?

Thanks

You have to tell it what config file to use. Near the top of the script is a
BEGIN {} block where you have to place the path(s) for your mrtg config file
in there. 

Something like:

BEGIN { @config_files = qw(/path/to/mrtg1.cfg /path/to/mrtg2.cfg); }

In windows I guess the /path/to would be replaced by something like
c:\path\to or whatever. I havent tried this in Windows.
