Hello,

I am following instructions as follows:
http://gojooz.blogspot.ie/2009/08/fwd-h ... e-for.html

[Install Activestate Perl: http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/

Direct link: http://downloads.activestate.com/Active ... 291086.msi


Download the rrdtool zip file for windows

Find it here: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/?M=D

Direct link: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/rrdto ... erl510.zip


Unzip to a temp folder

Open a command prompt and change to the following directory

C:\Temp\rrdtool-1.2.30-win32-perl510\data\rrd2\rrdtool-1.2.30\bindings\perl-shared>

Type ppm install RRDs.ppd


Good to go!]

I didn't get any errors and all appears to be set up as it should be.

The company I'm working for is being split into 2 parts and I have to try and replicate what is already setup so I suppose at least I know what it should look like at the end.

In the system already setup I can see additional files rrdcgi.exe and rrdtool.exe. I would have expected these to be included in rrdtool-1.2.30-win32-perl510 but I don't see this.

Is there any requirement for having Microsoft Visual? I'm using Windows 2003 R2 by the way.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Next step is to get routewatch working as well.

Thanks,
David

What you have installed is the Perl RRDs libraries. These are useful, and what you need for the various MRTG/RRD frontends and so on, but it sounds as if you also want to have the Windows binaries for rrdcgi and rrdtool.

These should be somewhere in C:\Temp\rrdtool-1.2.30-win32-perl510 under the bin directory. You can copy them out to wherever you require.
