Of course, not all versions of the software listed above must be the same, and some package systems have been installed for you, such

For gcc and Perl, check whether these software packages have been installed.

# Rpm-qa | grep gd

# Rpm-qa | grep libpng

If you do not have an installation, You can Google it. foreign websites have abundant resources in this field.

I downloaded the following rpm package:

Gd-1.8.4-11.i386.rpm

Gd-devel-1.8.4-9.i386.rpm

Libpng-1.2.8.tar.tar

Libpng-devel-1.2.8-2.i386.rpm

Httpd-2.0.40-21.i386.rpm

Httpd-manual-2.0.40-21.i386.rpm

In short, after confirming that these are all installed, you can continue the MRTG installation.

(1): first, modify the snmp configuration file:

# Vi/etc/snmp/snmpd. conf

Remove the comments from the beginning of the 90th line

View mib2 shortded .iso.org. dod. internet. mgmt. mib-2 fc

Remove # in row 62 and then modify it:

Access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact systemview none

Change

Access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact mib2 none

Then add a line of content under the last line:

Rocommunity mrtg

(2) Start your snmp Service and http Service as follows:

First, check whether the two services are enabled when the system starts.

# Chkconfig -- list | grep httpd

Httpd 0: off 1: off 2: off 3: off 4: off 5: off 6: off

It indicates that the http service is not started in each startup mode. You need to modify the following:

# Chkconfig -- level 35 httpd on

Check the result as follows:

Httpd 0: off 1: off 2: off 3: on 4: off 5: on 6: off

It indicates that the modification has been successful. The http service will be automatically loaded every time the system is started in the form of 3 or 5.

Use the same settings for the snmpd service

Then manually start

#/Etc/rc. d/init. d/httpd start

#/Etc/rc. d/init. d/snmpd start

(3): Start mrtg Installation

# Tar zvxf mrtg-2.9.29.tar.gz

# Cd mrtg-2.9.29

#. /Configure -- prefix =/usr/local/mrtg -- with-gd =/usr/include -- with-gd-lib =/usr/lib -- with-gd-inc =/usr /include -- with-png =/usr/include -- with-zlib =/usr/include

# Make

# Make install

If an error occurs in one of the preceding steps, it may be because a software package is not correctly installed, or it may be caused by other reasons. Please analyze it carefully.

If OK, we can configure mrtg.
