Munin, Monit, Webalizer need help!
 

Hi, I've read through the howto's on these programs but I'm having a bit of trouble with them:

Munin gives me this error: Error writing to /var/run/munin/munin-update.lock, wrong permissions at /usr/share/perl5/Munin.pm line 356.

Which I can't work out what is as it's not displaying any local or remote host graphs.

I would also like to password Munin and Webalizer, however by trying the howto it didn't work. I'm not sure where the problem was.

The last issue I have is Monit which gives me a page saying Index of /monit then a token file. But it isn't showing any graphs of systems processes

I hope someone can help me - I am running Debian Etch

Thanks

Does the directory which htmldir in /etc/munin/munin.conf points to belong to munin (user and group) and is writeable by him ?
Any errors in Apache's logs? Is Your server/virtual host configured to read configuration from .htaccess files?

Thanks for the reply Leszek, I managed to get Munin sorted out and wokring as it was just a matter of sorting out permissions.

As far as password is concerned for Webalizer, Munin and Monit not working I don't have any errors in my apache log. There was one but it wasn't to do with these; one for python and the other for perl which it said was sorted.

Do You have "AllowOverride All" directive in the configuration of Apache of a particular Virtual Host that doesn't accept .htaccess files ? I mean the <directory> </directory> part. For example:
Later You can decide if You need "AllowOverride all" or maybe something else.

Hi, sorry I forgot to mention that I'm not using virtual domains!

Just standard /var/www dir with index.html in it

The same applies for global configuration.
You'll have to look for something I mentioned earlier.

This is the current configuration in the sites-enabled dir:

ServerAdmin root@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

Then change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" so it looks like this:

Sorry for the alte reply I got kinda caught up with work!

Ok, I think I understand the problem; I followed the howto but it didn't work for me as creating a file called .htaccess and .htpasswd in the munin folder did nothing.

I discovered this howto: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/597 from Debian Admin which almost works for me now :)

Just the problem is that when I enter the username and password now I get an error message saying: Forbidden - you do not have permission to access munin on this server.

Can you suggest anything??

Maybe You should try to regenerate the password ?
Maybe You've made a typo ?
If You include:
in Apache's configuration then You don't need the .htaccess file.
