Graphing troubles

[Jared Crapo]

I have recently installed argus, and have been quite pleased with the
results.  Today I tried to get graphing to work, and I have had no
luck.  I am using the simple config file found on
http://argus.tcp4me.com/self.html.  I get empty boxes when I look at the
web pages.  I have files in $datadir/gcache, but they all are empty, ie
length of 0.  There are no files in $datadir/gdata, which I suspect is
the problem.  I looked through the mailing list archives, and couldn't
find anything that helped me solve this problem, so I'm posting here in
the hope that someone can help.

$ argusctl status
ARGUS/2.0 200 OK
status:   running
version:  3.3
perlver:  5.8.3
osinfo:   Linux 2.4.25-2mdk i686
objects:  5
services: 3
notifies: 0
uptime:   0:07:23
idle:     99.84% 99.65% 0.00%
monrate:  0.04 0.05 0.00 per second

The $datadir/log file doesn't show any errors, just stuff about parents
and children getting SIGTERM'ed and argus restarting.  I have shut down
argus and web server (apache) and started them up again.

$ perl -e 'print "found GD\n" if(eval { require GD })'
found GD

It seems GD is getting found OK.

$ cd /var/argus
$ ls -ld gdata gcache
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 4096 Jun 22 17:54 gcache
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 4096 Jun 15 17:15 gdata

Shouldn't be a permissions problem either.

$ ls -l gcache

The empty png files.

$ ls -l gdata
total 0

No stuff in gdata.


Can somebody point me in the right direction to try and get this working
right?
