After upgrading to 7.1 monitorix fails on startup.

I tried doing an upgrade and install of the monitorix package.
pacman -Su monitorix
It checked the package, confirmed it was up todate and then reinstalled it. But when I try to start it I get the following messages.
Code:
[root@mythtv etc]# /etc/rc.d/monitorix start
:: Starting Monitorix                                                    [BUSY]
:: Stopping Cron Daemon                                                  [DONE]
:: Starting Cron Daemon                                                  [FAIL]
                                                                         [DONE]

Any suggestions? Now sure why I am getting the BUSY status. It's not running.

Looked for a monitorix log in /var/log but none exist there. Also did a
Code:
find . -name monitorix.log

Didn't find any logs anywhere for monitorix

Nothing monitorix at all in /var/log

All the other monitorix are either directorys, crontab, or scripts

K... it's been a while since I made that PKGBUILD and frankly, I haven't touched it since then. My best advice is to take the one I maintain in the AUR and adapt it to the setup LH uses.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33911

EDIT: wait a sec, looks like the PKG is in the official linhes repo?

http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... c&start=30

EDIT2: ack, it's a pretty old version, maybe you're better off talking my original suggestion.

Ok so grab the new package and them follow your original thread
"HOWTO: Setup Monitorix on R6 (rrdtool system monitor)" ?

That's the thread that I used to do my original install. can edit and use the PKGBUILD file in your original tarball?

Wow, REALLY late reply. Missed your post. No, the howto I wrote is out-of-date. Any package on LH should be build/managed by pacman. Perhaps one of the dev's can update the LH monitorix PKGBUILD.

That won't help LH users a whole lot since LH uses a different init system for daemons. I am also unfamiliar with which paths LH uses for serving up http (been too long).

See Updated instructions at the bottom of this post

Ok I had some free time to play around with this and this is what I found.
The monitorix package installs in directory /srv/http/monitorix

Linhes is expecting to find monitorix at /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix , monitorix.cgi at
/data/srv/httpd/htdocs/cgi-bin , and data at /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix/imgs

I copied the contents of /srv/http/monitorix to /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix
the contents of /srv/http/cgi-bin to /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/cgi-bin

Then created a link to imgs at /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix to /srv/http/monitorix/imgs

Code:
 cd /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix
 ln -s /srv/http/monitorix/imgs imgs

If you removed montorix from startup you just need to run
/etc/rc.d/monitorix start
And you should be good to go.

Revised instructions:

That's it!

This was great help, thank you tscholl! I was able to get this to work also, with a minor correction:

The latter copy should be /srv/http/cgi-bin (not /srv/http/monitorix/cgi-bin) to /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/cgi-bin

Glad it worked for you as well. I updated my post to reflect your findings.

I also made one additional change in regards to the index.html

It does gets updated now and then and when it does the copy at /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix/index.html is out of sync.

To eliminate that problem I deleted the index.html from /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix and created a link back to /srv/http/monitorix/index.html

Code:
cd /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix/
rm index.html
ln -s /srv/http/monitorix/index.html index.html

It would really probably be a lot cleaner just to link /data/srv/httpd/htdocs/monitorix to /srv/http/monitorix/ and that would eliminate the need to do the index.html link.
