RE: {bb} Larrd apache script

["Homan, Charles" <Charles.Homan@gdc4s.com>]

Hmm, I think I owe you an apology, Misty.  I was under the misguided assumption that the Apache-LARRD stuff worked the same way that other LARRD tests do.  That is, that there is a script on the client that gathers data, then a second script on the server that stuffs that data into the RRD file.  However, after looking at apache-larr.pl, I see that this is not the case.

In apache-larrd.pl, which should NOT be in the "bf" directory, but should be in the $LARRDHOME, there is a %host_h section.  Have you configured that to match your domain name, apache port, etc?  Now, having never set this up before I have to plead ignorance about what should be in the "url" part.  It looks like it expects some CGI that responds with server status, but my version of apache (1.3.26) has no such script.  I think this is likely to be the part that is messing you up.  Perhaps someone more familiar with Apache-LARRD integration can jump in here...

[Note that this means you do NOT want "apache" in the BFMETS variable in bf-larrd.sh, but you DO want it in @DATALIST in larrd-config.pl.  Also, this should ONLY runon the server, as you had assumed.]

Regards,
Charles
