[rrd-users] Re: Help with running remstats

[gab.seun jones.ewulomi]

Hi Thomas,

1)My web-server is run as root? How do I change it otherwise

2)I did as you suggested. I went into the directory where unpacked it 
remstats and typed
"make owner"

3)Yes I did create a remstats user. I have also created a host config 
file(by your direction) using "new-config".
which then created the pseudo-host _remstats_
4) I then tried to use the "new-ping-hosts" to create a host. Im I using the 
"new-ping-hosts" in the correct way. can you help if possible.

(output below)
./new-ping-hosts -d -f /var/remstats/etc/config/ 
/var/remstats/etc/config/hostnames
Argument "-f" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at 
/var/remstats/lib/remstats.pl line 2715, <FILE> line 1.
DEBUG: unknown host aberdeen; attempting to continue
DEBUG: unknown host bristol; attempting to continue

/var/remstats/etc/config/hostnames = the file that contains hostnames

this however created a host in the /var/remstats/etc/config/hosts directory 
called aberdeen and bristol. But they didnt look right. I then edited with 
the correct ip address, group etc

5)I then tried to run "run-remstats" logging in as remstats user (su - 
remstats). But I get the error below

Thank you very much for your reply.
[root at remstats-server bin]# ./run-remstats

Errors from ping-collector:

defined(@array) is deprecated at /var/remstats/bin/ping-collector line 75.
        (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)

Errors from port-collector:

defined(@array) is deprecated at /var/remstats/bin/port-collector line 75.
        (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)

Errors from snmp-route-collector:

defined(@array) is deprecated at /var/remstats/bin/snmp-route-collector line 
64.
        (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
6)The version of remstats Im running is remstats-1.00a4
I was using the latest version(remstats-1.0.9b) but decided to drop down to 
the 1.00a4 version because I was getting to many errors.

My apologies on the long reply. But your help or anyones help will be 
greatly appreciated

regards
