I wanted to know the full URL like you would enter it into a browser. You know, those who start with http:// and such. I ask because we need to know how you [think you] access your Munin HTML page.


  I checked and there is no cgi-bin directory in the document root of stats2.company.com (/var/cache/munin/www). 


In Debian, the cgi-bin exists in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/. Aliasing there is configured in Apache. (I assume you use Apache, please tell us if otherwise.)

You might also have an "apache.conf" file in /etc/munin/. If so, this needs to be symlinked into Apache's /etc/apache2/conf.d/ directory so that Apache is able to read the munin-specific settings.


  I’ll look at removing the plugins. That was going to be a question for later :)

  I install Munin with apt-get on my Debian 6 box.


Which version of Munin? The default for Debian 6 is 1.4.5.


  Here is my munin.conf file:

  # Example configuration file for Munin, generated by 'make build'

  # The next three variables specifies where the location of the RRD
  # databases, the HTML output, logs and the lock/pid files.  They all
  # must be writable by the user running munin-cron.  They are all
  # defaulted to the values you see here.
  #
  dbdir  /var/lib/munin
  htmldir /var/cache/munin/www
  logdir /var/log/munin
  rundir  /var/run/munin
  #
  # Where to look for the HTML templates
  tmpldir        /etc/munin/templates

  # (Exactly one) directory to include all files from.
  #
  includedir /etc/munin/munin-conf.d

  # Make graphs show values per minute instead of per second

Is using CGI a choice you made, or was it the default setting?

The URL is http://stats2.company.com

Apache wasn’t aliasing the cgi-bin directory so I setup a ‘ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/’ in the conf file. I verified that the munin cgi files are indeed in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

I am running Munin version 1.4.5

I do not remember making a decision to use cgi. I’m happy to use whatever is going to work the best.
