Also, I have tested the dependencies. All are ok. Manually as well as from the check-dependencies script.

from collectd-web.

Thanks for your feedback alcy!
I cant do much about point (1), i'll just alert collectd core about it.

from collectd-web.

Point (2) ... that happens when the ajax asks for the hosts list ... host list remains bank and without notice. i'll add a dialog for it

from collectd-web.

Point (3) ... i cannot reproduce the error :s
from the collectd-web folder try this:
/usr/bin/perl cgi-bin/time.cgi

do you get the timezone ??

from collectd-web.

Hi, the time.cgi script executes fine.

/usr/bin/perl cgi-bin/time.cgi
Content-Type: application/json

{"tz":"5.5"}

from collectd-web.

Also, I think the datadir related inconsistency is probably due to a faulty default configuration file for collectd supllied in the debian package. It doesn't have an include directive for collection.conf (like it has for filters.conf and thresholds.conf)

from collectd-web.

i've changed the perl command on the top of each cgi. see if that fixes the issue.

from collectd-web.

still having this issue ?

from collectd-web.

Sorry for the delayed response, but I haven't been actively using collectd-web for some time now, hence can't comment. If I do try it again, will let you know of any problems.

from collectd-web.

ok! no problem then ... closing ticket! ;)

from collectd-web.

I can confirm that point 3 is still happening (all dependencies have been met)

This seems to be an old problem and has probably been fixed, but I got the the same behaviour as described above (OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied), and after looking at the code in file CGIHTTPServer.py (line 253), found that the http process tries to switch to user 'nobody':

        (...)
        # Child
        try:
            try:
                os.setuid(nobody)
        (...)

which, at least in my setup, was causing the problem. We have since chowned the collectd-web directory to user nobody, and launched the app like this:

 su -c "./runserver.py  192.168.2.150 8888" nobody

Now the standalone frontend is running correctly.

from collectd-web.

Hi,

Just to confirm and complete what slazarp is saying.
You have to make sure that collectd-web path is accessible to user nobody, basically I had the issue because I was lauching the standalone from /root/collectd-web which is not accessible to anyone but root.

I moved it in /opt/ for a cleaner setup and it worked fine.
