[Nfsen-discuss] Help needed - NFsen details page errors ...

[Kent D. <Dav...@cu...>]

Hi 

I'm fairly new to Linux and completely new to nfsen /nfdump so I may be
doing something really stupid.
I have installed nfdump version 1.5 and nfsen 1.2.4 I followed the
Instructions given within the Readme and Install files. I've checked that
all dependencies are present and correct (I think)
On my (Fedora core 4) system these are installed:
Rrdtools 1.0.49-5
Php 5.0.4-10.5
Perl 5.8.6-24 

(I've created an account called netflow for nfcapd and given added it to the
apache group)

The install script runs OK and I can kick it all off with "nfsen.rc start"
which seems fine. However when using the browser interface the homepage
seems OK except that in the selected profiles dropdown box I only get <no
profiles available> The flows packets and traffic pages seem OK but when I
get to the details page it all goes horribly wrong I get no graphs no
graphics, whenever I try clicking any buttons I get various errors for
example:  WARNING: Please select a timeslot between '2006-04-20-15-15' and
'2006-04-20-15-40'! Even when I have entered one!  or ERROR: Filter syntax:
sh: /nfdump-1.5.0//nfdump: Permission denied! (Nfdump permissions are
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root)

If I try to change anything e.g. Max. Size:  within the stats directory I
get ERROR: Command failed: ! (I've changed ownership on the profile.dat file
to user netflow group apache)
(I've created an account called netflow for nfcapd and added it to the
apache group ($WWWGROUP) )

I can't see anything wrong with permissions but I'm not 100% sure what I
should be looking for.

I've uninstalled and tried version 1.2.1 (with nfdump version 1.4.1) and get
exactly the same problem.

Any pointers would be most welcomed

Thanks 

David
