i wonder if it is it possible to view traffic graphs per domain ? (“host”)
since lighty knows how to limit bandwidth on particular host so i guess it also possible to retrieve this data somehow.

This might seem a silly question. But what is the red data on the ‘TrafficWebserver’ graph? Are those errors, because they’re negative…

Hi Vivek,

Although i use Linux for many years, I never ‘stumbled’ over this website before.
Better late than never! The best website about linux i’ve seen !!!!

Thanks for all the effort you are putting into this site.

Can you paste or upload your lighttpd somewhere else?

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for writing this nice document. I followed your steps. I am able to run sample perl script w/o any problem.
But when ever I tried to access lightygraph.cgi page download pop-up windows comes for downloading. Then I made some changes in lighttpd.conf for accessing .cgi pages now its saying “403 Forbidden”. My rrdtool is in /usr/local/bin/rrdtool.
Also, there is no file for rrd-db.

Pls. let me know if u have any suggession.

It is working here w/o any problem. Tested on RHEL 4.x and 5.3:
lighttpd -v
lighttpd-1.4.22 (ssl) – a light and fast webserver
Build-Date: May 7 2009 11:37:00

perl -v | grep built
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

I don’t post anything without testing ;)

Hi,

I use perl lightygraph.cgi to validate the results. Unfortunately, the lightygraph.cgi is broken due to the old RRDS.pm perl module. Check out here:
http://webminstats.sourceforge.net/faq.html#installation5

The details on RRDTool for Lighttpd can be found here:
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd/Docs:ModRRDTool

I appreciate that you’re trying to let us know of the RRDTool. Next time, try to validate the results first before posting here. :)

Robert
