+
+<P>From version 1.50, you can use the freeware software MRTG to produce
+really nice graphical statistics on your web site. For an example
+try
+<A HREF="http://www.gb7mbc.net/mrtg/stats.html">http://www.gb7mbc.net/mrtg/stats.html</A>.</P>
+
+<P>The following should help you get it all working.</P>
+
+<P>First you need to download the latest version of MRTG from
+<A HREF="http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/">http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/</A>.
+You will also need the following files..</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+libpng-1.0.14.tar.gz
+zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz
+gd-1.8.3.tar.gz
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>Login to your machine as the root user, put all the downloaded files
+in /usr/local/src/ (or wherever you prefer) and untar and compile them.
+All the information to compile and install these sources come with them.
+After compilation and installation, you will find MRTG in /usr/local/mrtg-2.</P>
+
+<P>Now copy all the files in /usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.22/images/ to
+/spider/html/mrtg/</P>
+
+<P>You now need to make 2 symbolic links like below...</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ln -s /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/bin/mrtg
+ln -s /usr/local/mrtg-2/lib/mrtg2 /usr/lib/mrtg2
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+
+<P>Now login to the cluster with your sysop callsign and run the command
+"mrtg all".</P>
+
+<P>Now you are nearly there! Login as the sysop user and change to the
+/spider/html/mrtg/ directory. Now run the command <EM>indexmaker</EM> as
+shown below...</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+indexmaker --output stats.html --columns=1 --title "MRTG statistics for GB7DJK" ../../mrtg/mrtg.cfg
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>Changing the callsign for your own cluster callsign of course!</P>
+
+<P>And finally you need to login as the root user and create one last
+symbolic link. Where this points will depend on where your html
+documents are kept. For RedHat systems you use...</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ln -s /home/sysop/spider/html/mrtg /home/httpd/html/mrtg
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>and for SuSE systems...</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+ln -s /home/sysop/spider/html/mrtg /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/mrtg
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>If you now point your browser to your website as below it should all
+be happening!</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+http://www.xxx.xxx/mrtg/stats.html
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>Of course, to get the stats to update, you need to add some information
+in the spider crontab file as below...</P>
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+# Update stats for mrtg on website
+00,05,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * run_cmd('mrtg all')
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>This will update the site every 5 minutes.</P>
