i am running a gateway with red hat linux 9.0 and i want to configure mrtg in that gateway i did following but there is some problem they are following:
Installing the SNMP

# rpm –qa | grep snmp
# rpm –ivh net-snmp-utils-………………rpm

Configuring SNMP

# cd /etc/snmp
# mv snmpd.conf snmpd.conf.old
# vi snmpd.conf [new file]
rocommunity ropublic [any string]
or

#echo “rocommunity ropublic”>/etc/snmp/snmp.conf

# chkconfig snmpd on
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd start

# snmpwalk –v 1 –c ropublic localhost system (when I quering this the output is :Timeout:no response from localhost)
# snmpwalk –v 1 –c ropublic localhost interface(when I quering this the output is :Timeout:no response from localhost)


Step 2: Web Server

# rpm –qa | grep httpd
# rpm –ivh httpd-2………..rpm
# service httpd start

Step 3: MRTG

Installing MRTG

# rpm –ivh mrtg-2.10…………rpm [RH 9.0 Disk 02]
# vi /etc/sysconfig/i18n
Replace LANG=”en_US.UTF_8”
with LANG=”en_US”
# init 6

Making Configuration File:

# cfgmaker - -output=/etc/mrtg/shahin.cfg - - global “workdir: /var/www/html/traffic” - - global ‘options[ _ ]: growright, bits’ ropublic@localhost (when I quering this the output is :no file created)



please help me i don't know what to do...???i am novice please reply me in detail.......

no point moving onto the configmaker if an snmp walk isnt yet working.

can you check that it is running??
