Anyone interesting in building a PKGBUILD for monitorix? Looks like a pretty killer system monitor w/ web interface. See the project page for additional screenshots.

@res - thanks. I installed your PKGBUILD running w/ lighttpd + fcgi + php-cgi on my system. I pointed my lighttpd to /var/www/htdocs as the server.document-root and I get the monitorix greetings screen, but I get a "404 - Not Found" when I try to view it.

Hey,

The installation procedure was copied verbatim from install.sh, the original installation script. Slackware options were chosen because they happen to work nicely with Arch's setup.

I don't have any problems here for getting it to work, but if you find a workaround for your issues, let me know. It sounds like you might be having permission issues.

@res - are you using lighttpd or apache? Can you post your lighttpd.conf if that's your daemon? I can't even verify that the perl script for monitorix is running. Happy to hear your suggestions for troubleshooting. Which dirs should I check the permissions?

# ls -l /var/www/htdocs/monitorix
total 24
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jan 24 10:00 imgs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5150 Jan 24 10:32 index.html

UPDATE: I switched over to apache and setup the server according to the apache wiki article. My test php script runs just fine.

 <?php
   phpinfo();
 ?>

When I browse to http://ip/monitorix I get the Monitorix selection screen, but again, when I hit the 'ok' button, apache gives:

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

FINALLY: problem was with my configuration. Also had to change /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

...now to get this working with lighttpd.... Thanks again for making the PKGBUILD.

Nice. Also, I could change cgi-bin path or any other file if someone confirms it's non-standard.

graysky · 2010-01-25 20:24:09

/var/www/htdocs works once you change your configuration. No biggie. I'd really like to get this to work under lighttpd though.

Actually, I just installed this on another machine and can't get the data to display in any graph, although they are generated, the data for everything reads, "-nan" for all. I don't think cron is running it. Can you post your /etc/cron.d/monitorix for me?
