RE: {bb} BB: LARRD - trend.html not found - SOLUTION

Found the solution:

1) Download  rrdtool-1.2.15.tar.gz and unzip/untarred it. 
2) compile and install
3) create a symbolic link as /usr/local/rrdtool to rrdtool-1.2.-15
4) restart BB

Voila! It worked

I now get the trends.html page and that "larrd is accumulating." I got
an error with LARRDTMP needing permissions so I made it world-writable.
Now I click through to another link and get the message:

ERROR: can't handle RRD file version 0003
 

I'm running this on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Does this mean I have to
downgrade RRDtool to an earlier version? If so, what's the easiest way
to go about this since RHEL uses an RPM repository.

After I modified "larrd-config.pl" the variable below from DYNAMIC to
STATIC, restarted Big Brother I now get trend.html generated as
expected.  Hope this helps.

$ENV{'BBLOGSTATUS'}=STATIC;

David

You're right about the problem with client and server terms used here.
Not sure why it was originally set up on the client side of BB to begin
with. 

I've tried your suggestion by putting a symbolic link in BB Client home
so that it has a www directory pointing to the www directory on the BB
Server side. No dice.

When I start bbrother, the client sides starts the bf-larrd.sh and
larrd.pl script. There is nothing in LARRDOUT.

At this point I'm just going to reinstall and start from scratch and
take your suggestion and reinstall on the BB server side.

I just know that this is going to sound pedantic, but I really feel
the need to re-state the problem. Using the terms client and server
for both hardware and software is too much of a mine-field of mis-
understanding.

I grabbed a fresh copy of 0.43d, just to make sure that it hadn't been
updated, but the INSTALL document still instructs people to install
under the client software that is running on the display server. The
problem is that it later tries to access the $BBHOME/www/html directory,
which doesn't exist in the client directory. As a result, I found it
necessary to either install under the server directory on the display
machine or used an additional symbolic link to provide access from the
client directory.

Since you have already done that, the next step would be to consult the
LARRDOUT file for any errors and then set debugging in larrd-html.pl to
get more information on what is going wrong.

Cheers, Phil.
