Title: Rateup error
Post by: martinhick on February 28, 2005, 08:19:24 PM

I am currently experiencing a problem with a corrupt rateup file Error message in/rateup'
> ERROR: Can't Execute '/usr/bin/rateup'

I have tried to rerun the mrtg script but still get the same message.

How do I fix this. where can I get a copy of the corrupt file.

Thanks

Martin

Thanks for Damian, It was a different size to the one that I had.

I tried to reinstall mrtg after addig your file with the following results

Rateup WARNING: /usr/bin/rateup Can't remove mem.old updating log file

It would appear to be the log files that are corrupt. Any ideas on how to fix them.

OK, delete the contents of /home/e-smith/files/ibays/mrtg/html (or wherever your working directory specified in /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg is) and restart mrtg. This assumes that you don't need the history so far ;-)
You should get some of those errors the first time mrtg runs but they should stop after a couple of runs.

Thanks Damian,

Deleteing all the files in the folder has fixed my problem. Mrtg immediatly rebuilt all the files and as you suggested after a couple more errors has now settled down.

Pleased it's working. mrtg is a pretty simple beast once it's happy.
