Hard to tell from the information given. looks like a workdir problem.

Because you are just starting to work with MRTG I would highly recommend that you reinstall it and use rrdtools and routers.cgi in place of the standard log lives.  life will be better for you with this setup.

Subject: [mrtg] adding second device not generating data - advice needed

Hello, I have added a 2nd device to my mrtg but it's not capturing any data :-(  I'm pretty to new to linux and just started working with mrtg

so on my index page, I have 6 graphs, 3 from one router (which are showing nice traffic - 65.205.26.196) and 3 from newly added router (65.205.26.197)which has no traffic showing.
I am running Fedora 9, mrtg-2...I stopped mrtg and restarted it and I stopped & started httpd

these are my commands... any help would be greatly appreciated.
