Hello All , Following is a transcript that I posted to Steve Shipway's blog on routers2.cgi . What follows should( hopefully) be enough help someone to give me some pointers of where I am going wrong . Tia , JimL
It's best to goto this Url on Steve's wiki . Url: to the post . http://www.steveshipway.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1733&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a <<< PostPosted: Fri 06 Feb, 2009 3:12 pm >>> Does anyone have any ideas for me to check on that maybe causing this ? rrdtool [info|fetch] work fine on the example .cfg's .rrd file . routers2.cgi reports itself in good health on the offending *.cfg as well . From below my best guess is that hte segfault is happening in the line with 'RRDs::updatev' . And of course I am way over my head with trying to trace that down . Even even after upgrading to mrtg-2.16.2 , we still get a segfault .
