i have an mrtg rpm that installs fine on rhel 3. i can't find an rpm for rhel 4 so i'm trying to get the rpm i have to work:


rpm -Uvh mrtg-2.10.5-1.0.rhel3.ct.i386.rpm

[root@linux11844 local]# rpm -Uvh mrtg-2.10.5-1.0.rhel3.ct.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libgd.so.1.8 is needed by mrtg-2.10.5-1.0.rhel3.ct.i386


this box has gd 2

/usr/lib/libgd.so
/usr/lib/libgd.so.2
/usr/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0

so i thought i could try symlinking:


[root@linux11844 local]# rpm -Uvh mrtg-2.10.5-1.0.rhel3.ct.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libgd.so.1.8 is needed by mrtg-2.10.5-1.0.rhel3.ct.i386

cd /usr/lib

ll

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Nov 13 2005 libgd.so -> libgd.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Nov 13 2005 libgd.so.2 -> libgd.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 229680 Nov 3 2004 libgd.so.2.0.0


ln -s libgd.so.2.0.0 libgd.so.1.8

ll

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 May 16 00:58 libgd.so.1.8 -> libgd.so.2.0.0



i still get the same errors. anyone have an mrtg rpm for rhel 4 or know how i can try to get this one working?

thanks,

did you try dag?
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/mrtg/
mrtg-2.12.1-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm Sun 27 Nov 2005 1037 kB Red Hat EL 4 - i386
mrtg-2.12.1-1.2.el4.test.x86_64.rpm Sun 27 Nov 2005 1046 kB Red Hat EL 4 - x86_64

hmmmm....no i haven't.
i tried up2date mrtg, but there is too much configuration involved with that.

i'll give this rpm a shot and let you know how it goes.

thanks,

still some issues. here is what i did:

rpm -Uvh mrtg-2.12.1-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm

rm mrtg-2.12.1-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/mrtg.conf

i changed the alias line so it now looks like this:

# This configuration file maps the mrtg output (generated daily)
# into the URL space. By default these results are only accessible
# from the local host.
#
Alias /mrtg /usr/local/apache/sites/mrtg

<Location /mrtg>
Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from localhost localhost.localdomain
Deny from none
Allow from all
# Allow from .example.com
</Location>


next i did this:

vi /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

and changed the working directory so that it now reads:



######################################################################
# Multi Router Traffic Grapher -- Example Configuration File
######################################################################
# This file is for use with mrtg-2.0
#

i know this is a problem already. i looked at mrtg.cfg on one of my rhel 3 boxes and there is tons of settings in the file.

Do you think I can copy mrtg.cfg from my rhel 3 box and use it here?

then i did this:

mv /var/www/mrtg /usr/local/apache/sites

vi /etc/sysconfig/i18n

and changed it to:

#LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

i restarted apache

/etc/init.d/mrtg start

[root@linux11844 conf.d]# /etc/init.d/mrtg start
-bash: /etc/init.d/mrtg: No such file or directory


besides not being able to get mrtg started, i know that mrtg.cfg file is going to cause problems as well.

when i bring up http://hostname/mrtg it just displays the default mrtg page.

anyone able to get mrtg working on rhel 4 using rpm or up2date?

thanks
