FIXES! FIXES! FIXES!

Ok, after spending a lot of time looking for answers, I finally got MRTG to work! This is for REDHAT 8.0!!!!!!!!

Let's make sure we're on the same page by updating the MRTG RPM:

# rpm -e mrtg-2.9.17-4ct
# rpm http://download.cheetaweb.com/mrtg-2.9.17-...cpanel.i386.rpm -Uvh

Get rid of the ugly UTF error:

# pico /etc/sysconfig/i18n

change LANG to LANG="en_US"

# reboot

you need to reboot the machine for these changes to take place

# set | grep LANG

verify the changes took place

Clean up the libpng issues

# rpm -e gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-22

we have to remove this in order to remove the others (we'll put it back on, don't worry)

# rpm -e libpng10-1.0.13
# rpm -e libpng10-devel-1.0.13-6

Now we put the things we just removed back on, but we use the correct versions.

Login to WHM
Click on Install RPMs
Force install these:
libpng
libpng-devel
gnome-libs

Now we clean up another error that would surface

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libpng.so.3 libpng.so.2

Now let's restart MRTG and go look at those graphs!

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mrtg restart

did everything ya said

then tried to restart mrtg

got

i checked rpm -qa on libpng, and libpng-1.0.13 isnt even install.... i did a rpm -e --nodeps libpng and got rid of it, and tried to force install libpng again

didnt help


any ideas?

NICE!

I'll point out that on my Redhat 9 boxes, this did NOT require a restart, and it also worked perfectly!

Thanks!

cpanel rich, you need to do these steps again:

i did i did!

even made sure i forced em out (libpng was complaining about dependencies so i did an rpm -e --nodeps libpng

the others removed fine

and rpm -qa 'ed all 3 to make sure they were gone.

then re-installed

still get the weird png.c / png.h error (damn libpng!)

i'll keep working on it, will keep you update, if you have any other ideas, shoot em here.

Remove every single libpng and then when you reinstall, make sure you DO NOT install the ones with "10" next to them.

I guess I should rebuild it against current libpng

i went ahead and just installed it from scratch, always fun... rpm -Uvh is just way easier :-D

Wonderfull, works fine.

Any word on if/when RS is offering some RH8/9 boxes? Okay, I know Ensim is the most picky-piece-of-software ever, and will not run on it, but what about the plain boxes? I've been messing around with RH9 recently, and truly love it.

Will this work with RH 7.3?

Did you by chance build this with libpng?

I am assuming it will work on a plain redhat 8 box....

I got this error:

-------------------------------------------------------

Shutting down MRTG: [FAILED]
Starting MRTG: Daemonizing MRTG ...

root@water [/usr/lib]# ls: /var/spool/exim/input/*-H: No such file or directory
ls: /var/spool/exim/input/*-H: No such file or directory
ls: /var/spool/exim/input/*-H: No such file or directory

-------------------------------------------------------

What do you suggest?

Is there any Red Hat 9.0 version of this MRTG RPM available?

I used the stock mrtg that came with RH9. I just copied and slightly modified the config files that gpan's ensim rpm created on to my rh9 box. ... all is well.

Sorry to sound like an idiot, I am rather new to this. However, how would I go about using the one that comes with RH 9? Thanks for any help in advance

that is perfectly normal.

So will it?

Its built on and supposed to work on 7.3 by default.

Installed without a problem as far as I can tell

everytime cron runs I get this error
Daemonizing MRTG ...
ERROR: I Quit! Another copy of mrtg seems to be running. Check /etc/mrtg/mrtg.pid

I only see one running..probably the one it is complaining about...
I can access the stats page..no problem

I kill the process and she still produces the error

mrtg is set to activate at boot
and cron runs at 5 min intervals

any ideas

Thanks Rich

removed the cron entry
the error is gone
stats page seems to update as times are changing on the page

Rich

I did everything you said and i get the following:

root@smoky [/]# service mrtg start
mrtg: unrecognized service

root@smoky [/]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mrtg restart
-bash: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mrtg: No such file or directory

root@smoky [/]# service mrtg stop
mrtg: unrecognized service


I did everything you said 3 times and it still dont work :-/

Please help me out.
Thanks.

ok..i have resinstalled the libpng and it works now..but some of the graph is not showing up , such as the daily TCP... I will need to refresh the page to make the graph shows up and the strange thing is that the LOGO at the bottom of the page is not showing up this time..:confused:

I am getting the error in shell :

thanks,

how can I password protect it to prevent other users from accessing it?I have tried searching around the directory but was not able to find the directory..

I tried the directory found in /etc/mrtg but the page is not password protected when I preview it in browser...

Hi,

looks strange as it does not shows any reports on the traffic menu.

Hi everyone,

I followed the instructions here (more or less. trying to force install RPMs from the RPM package installer kept reinstalling other packages like mrtg again) on my new RedHat 9 cPanel Dual Xeon server here and it seems to work. There is a ton of crap dependant on gnome-libs though:

ORBit is needed by gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32
imlib is needed by gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32
libIIOP.so.0 is needed by gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32
libORBit.so.0 is needed by gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32
libORBitCosNaming.so.0 is needed by gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32
libORBitutil.so.0 is needed by gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32
libgdk_imlib.so.1 is needed by gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32
libpng.so.2 is needed by gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32

Which is strange because RPM didn't how gnome-libs being installed.

Anyway, hopefully nothing is broken from this.

Anyone know how to keep cPanel from updating mrtg in future rpm grabs? Thanks!

I keep getting the following:

WARNING: rateup died from Signal 11
with Exit Value 0 when doing router 'tcp'
Signal was 11, Returncode was 0
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.2

I have uninstalled libpng and gnome-libs as the guide says, but everytime you re-install gnome-libs it puts the 1.0.13 version back in. I keep getting broken graph links because of this.

When I am trying to install gpan's MRTG
I got this error message!!


error: Failed dependencies:

---------------------------
Everytime when I am trying to update some software through WHM (Software/Update Server Software)
I will got a lot of error message!!
a lot of RPM are not installed!!
But I am very sure that I had installed it!!

What's the problem with my WHM??

Yeah, after doing it the hard way the last time this is what I do now. I also got tired of cPanel blowing away the rpm each time I do an update. So if I just copy the modded files over and its all good. This method just worked for me on the new RedHat Enterprise server I picked up tonight as well.

Hal

Basically, it seems to work fine on my RH EL3 w/ cPanel, however I wonder about the following stats which I keep getting for the CPU usage...

Max user: 528.0 %CPU
Average user: 408.0 %CPU
Current user: 480.0 %CPU

Max total: 568.0 %CPU
Average total: 416.0 %CPU
Current total: 488.0 %CPU

How can those figures possibly be correct? Maybe I am blindfolded and crazy, but I thougt that more than 100% isn't possible , is it?

:confused:

Any idea?
Any explanation?

Thanks in advance.

Karen

Hi,

CPU load is always reported 10 times higher than it should be. (i.e. 520% is really 52%). My servers usually report in the 300% range on MRTG meaning its around 30% utilized.

I wonder if a mrtg graph is out for the iowait state that top shows. Would help to show how IO bound the server is at any time.

Hal

Well, Thanks for that explanation. That calms me down a bit .

Karen

I am using RH9 with P4 Cpanel server. I installed MRTG successfully with no issues. When i restart mrtg using

# service mrtg restart

Shutting down MRTG: [ OK ]
