[mrtg] NT 4 MRTG Install

[Hendricks, Mark D.]

I am attempting to initially configure MRTG on an Alpha running NT4.

As per the NT instructions, I downloaded MRTG (2.8.6) and changed the main::
OS to = NT.

I downloaded the latest version of Active Perl for the Alpha from Active
State, Checked
to verify that the path to Perl was in the System "environment".

I placed Rateup.exe in the MRTG-28.6 directory, and attempted to create the
mrtg.cfg file by typing perl cfgmaker ***@my device ip >mrtg.cfg.

C:\MRTG\MRTG-28.6>perl cfgmaker ***@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx >mrtg.cfg
Can't open perl script "cfgmaker": No such file or directory

I noticed that there is no "cfgmaker" file in the mrtg-28.6 directory, but
that there is a "cfgmaker" file in the run directory.

C:\MRTG\MRTG-28.6>c:\perl\bin\perl c:\mrtg\mrtg-28.6\run\cfgmaker
***@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>c:\mrtg\mrtg-2
8.6\mrtg.cfg
ERROR: Can't find location of cfgmaker executable
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at c:\mrtg\mrtg-28.6\run\cfgmaker line
52.

There is a "cfgmaker.pl" file in the mrtg-28.6/contrib/cfgmaker/
directory, so I tried that.

C:\MRTG\MRTG-28.6>c:\perl\bin\perl
c:\mrtg\mrtg-28.6\contrib\cfgmaker\cfgmaker.pl ***@xxx.xxx.xxx.
xxx >mrtg.cfg
Can't locate SNMP_Session.pm in @INC (@INC contains: c:/Perl/lib
c:/Perl/site/lib .) at

c:\mrtg\mrtg-28.6\contrib\cfgmaker\cfgmaker.pl line 15.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
c:\mrtg\mrtg-28.6\contrib\cfgmaker\cfgmaker.pl line 15.

The perl path statement has forward, not back slashes, but I am at a loss
here.

I followed the directions exactly as printed in the Windows NT Guide to
MRTG.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. MRTG would be an awesome tool for
my organization.

Thanks

I've also noticed when I first installed MRTG for NT that the
documentation is a little bit off, but overall it was very good.

Most of the stuff IS in the run directory, including the
SNMP_session.pm and SNMP_util.pm. Move these two to the lib
subdirectory for perl. You should be able to run the cfgmaker in the
run directory, even though it has no .pl extension. Personally I don't
know why it wouldn't run, it works for me, and I'm not a programmer.
Maybe someone else knows. I guess you could rename it to cfgmaker.pl

Hope it works,
Chris
