MRTG-Graph-hack

Ok.
Now there are pictures forming in the mrtg girectory, but they won't show in mrtg.php

hmm strange. are there ".inc" files in the mrtg-dir ? (the mrtg-dir in your docroot, so /var/www/mrtg on standard-config)
(mrtg.php looks for the .inc-files and parses em.)

I got traffic.inc and it looks ok. The logs are logging the traffic, the only thing is the pictures that doesn't show up.

The traffic.inc lies with another instance of mrtg, so  I made a dirty one, and copied it into the mrtg for tf, and now it shows empty frames without any graph (in the pictures, it says just what function it has)

Tried to redirect it all to the other mrtg, but when it is pased, the images isn't found

if you alter the format of the inc-files (if you change or do not use the "dont modify" lines) in my default-mrtg-conf mrtg.php wont work as it relies on some of em.

one good thing may be to delete the content of your mrtg-dir and let mrtg recreate things.

also i always delete mrtgs .ok file in the config-dir after doing changes to the config-file(s)

Ok, i got it!
MRTG doesn't create the inc files!!

Ok, i got it!
MRTG doesn't create the inc files!!

then please ensure you didnt alter/remove these lines in mrtg.flux.cfg

Code:

# _dont_ change this when using with my mrtg.php
PageTop[_]: _CONTENT_BEGIN_
PageFoot[_]: _CONTENT_END_
Extension[_]: inc

also ensure user running the cron-job has write-access to the mrtg-dir where the .inc-files and pngs belong. (if you did your interactive tests as root you might have a permission-problem here)

The mrtg.flux.cfg.file looks correct... When I run flux-mrtg, the pngs are created, but there is still no inc file
chmod 777 on mrtg..

please ensure the following lines in your mrtg.flux.cfg match. it must be the same directory and mrtg requires that both are set.

Ok.
Now  I got a picture frame, which is empty and only says the function (like day, week under traffic)

[wobbles]

just enabled this on my tf sever, sweet mod and other graphing scripts! :>

[puttyman]

I use TorrentFlux 2.1-b4rt-85 .

I get the following after install . No graph produced


My TF path is /www/var/html
I use debian sarge
My mrtg works fine in /www/var/mrtg ( installed with apt-get)

How should i edit those config files to make it work in TorrentFlux 2.1-b4rt-85  ?

one thing i see, logdir "should" be this:

Code:

# CHANGEME
Logdir: /usr/local/torrent/.mrtg/

pls just follow my guide step by step .. its pretty straight-forward.
i cant really help if you dont do that with a error-report like "it doesnt work"
you checked the dirs how i wrote in the guide ? any files there ?
any errors from mrtg ? anything ? ~

always check the permissions as i wrote it in the guide as this is maybe #1 source of problems with this setup.

well i setup everything as you wrote . I still get the image problem.

The scripts are creating the logs and images , i tried to view the image http://xx.xx/html/mrtg/traffic-day.png

I get server internal error.
Apache log prints : [alert] [client xx.xxx.xx.xx] /var/www/html/mrtg/.htaccess: deny not allowed here

this is a "apache-setup-problem" then. i put .htaccess files in all subdirs of TF where direct access is not wanted. you could try to delete the file ".htaccess" in the mrtg dir and try again.
