Thank you,

[falko]

There's a file mailgraph.cgi that you must put in the cgi-bin directory of a website and make it executable. Afterwards you can access it like that: www.example.com/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi

I'v ubuntu breeze and I've done a simple

apt-get install mailgraph

then

chmod a+x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi

and then... nothing was functioning properly :mad:
I've made it running, editing some files, as described in this trac ticket (http://trac.altranet.it/altranet/ticket/31)
(in italian, sorry).

You can now see my mail statistics at:

vandana.altranet.it/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi (http://vandana.altranet.it/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi)

:D

I'm now trying to make couriergraph (http://vandana.altranet.it/cgi-bin/couriergraph.cgi) running... but I'm not very lucky...

chmod 755 /path/to/mailgraph.cgiIf you use suExec, you must also chown the file.

My mailgraph don't produce any graphs?

test script hello_world.pl is working:

Are the settings in your mailgraph.cgi correct? Maybe the folder for image creation doesn't exist or something like that.

[nenad]

Exactly like that.

I overseen this line in mailgraph.cgi

my $tmp_dir = '/var/lib/mailgraph'; # temporary directory where to store the images

so, I created that directory

(and cmod and chown it change to the user the suexec of that virtualhost was running)

but there is still no graphs

there is only ,cgi-bin directory created inside /var/lib/mailgraph

[nenad]

OK, I found what was happening.

/var/lib/mailgraph

directory MUST be created BEFORE installation of rrdtool and mailgraph.

If it is not created then those two files:

mailgraph.rrd
mailgraph_virus.rrd

are not written in this directory, and when you try to see your graphs, you will not see them.

and it must be chmod to 755 and chown to the suexec user of that virtualhost

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this is revised falko's tutorial.
This one is "mailgraph for dummies on Debian Sarge 3.1" (dummies as I am :) ). And of course this will help me few months later when I reinstall server to set up mailraph once again :)

In this example virtual host is www.example.com
Web user is web1_user


Step 1:

mkdir /var/lib/mailgraph
chmod 755 /var/lib/mailgraph
chown web1_user:web1 /var/lib/mailgraph

Step 2:

apt-get install rrdtool mailgraph

Note: If you allready installed this, but you find your self in trouble making it work, and you find this tutorial try this instead:

apt-get --reinstall install rrdtool mailgraph

Step 3:

Should Mailgraph start on boot? <-- Yes
Which logfile should be used by mailgraph? <-- /var/log/mail.log
Remove RRD files on purge? <-- No If this is selected as 'Yes' then /var/lib/mailgraph directory will be deleted

Step 4:
Copy mailgraph.cgi to cgi of our website's cgi directory

cp -p /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi /var/www/www.example.com/cgi-bin

Step 5:
Change ownership:

chown web1_user:web1 /var/www/www.example.com/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi

Step 6:
Point your browser to:

http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi

Note: I do hope that this will work for you as it works for me:
