Hi there. I have decided to try and convert from MRTG to RRDtool, following that site and the one written by Tobi.
I am running a freebsd 4.11 system, so rrdtool is installed as a package. In my config file, I put: LogFormat: rrdtool PathAdd: /usr/local/bin LibAdd: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/ the executable is located in /usr/local/bin and the RRDs.pm file is located in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/ hence the reasons for those paths. I then tried running MRTG the normal way (/usr/local/bin/mrtg config-file.cfg) but it errors out: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/usr/local/etc/mrtg2#: /usr/local/bin/mrtg config-file.cfg rrdtool in free(): warning: page is already free ERROR: Can only restore version >= 2 (Not 0001). Dump your old rrd using a current rrdtool dump. ERROR: Cannot update /usr/local/www/data/mrtg2/belmont-ur1/65.175.xxx.xx_17.rrd with '1126790421:406572352040418:477264097202426' opening '/usr/local/www/data/mrtg2/belmont-ur1/65.175.xxx.xx_17.rrd': No such file or directory ERROR: Cannot 'last' /usr/local/www/data/mrtg2/belmont-ur1/65.175.xxx.xx_17.rrd: opening '/usr/local/www/data/mrtg2/belmont-ur1/65.175.xxx.xx_17.rrd': No such file or directory Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 683.

Seems like a vicious cycle there :P I am using: mrtg-2.10.15,1 rrdtool-1.2.11 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks John PAUL WILLIAMSON wrote: >>>>"Richard F.
