MRTG on Directadmin

Installing MTRG on Directadmin servers is a pretty easy job. All you have to do it to run a shell script which will automate the installation process. Here we go..

SSH the server as root..

cd /usr/src/

wget  http://gnutoolbox.com/download/linux/network/scripts/install.mrtg.sh

chmod +x install.mrtg.sh


./install.mrtg.sh


When the process is done MRTG will be installed in:
 
 /var/www/html/mrtg
 
 and can be viewed at:
 
 http://your.hostname.com/mrtg


The script supports the following os.

 


 RedHat 9
 Fedora Core 3
 Fedora Core 2
 Debian 3.0
 CentOS 3.4
 CentOS 4.0
