no hosts

[CaBaz]

I'm trying to setup collecd-web but somehow my collection.conf isn't
parsed.

check_deps.sh says all looks ok and cgi scripts run fine.

For every line in collection.conf i get a message in my log:
GET /cgi-bin/collection.modified.cgi?action=hostlist_json HTTP/1.1"
200 -
Cannot parse line: DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd/", referer:

Cannot parse line: </Type>, referer: http://192.168.1.50/collectd-web/

The collection.conf looks like this:
DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd/"
GraphWidth 400
#UnixSockAddr "/var/run/collectd-unixsock"
<Type apache_bytes>
DataSources count
DSName "count Bytes/s"
RRDTitle "Apache Traffic"
RRDVerticalLabel "Bytes/s"
RRDFormat "%5.1lf%s"
Color count 0000ff
</Type>

Is this the correct layout of collection.conf ?
using centos5.6, collectd-4.10

Hey CaBaz!
could you try using a collection.conf which only has this content:

DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd/"

are hosts still missing ?

Hi Kenny,

I tried your suggestion, but still my log shows (both standalone/
apache):

Cannot parse line: DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd/", referer:
http://192.168.1.50/collectd-web/

If i try it on the command line:
# perl collection.modified.cgi

Cannot parse line: DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd/"

Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8
Cache-Control: no-cache
<div><p>No host defined</p></div>

I searched the collection.modified.cgi script and the first matchline
contains a ":" which wasn't in my collection.conf.
After adding it the list of hosts showed up.

Perhaps you could do a sanity check on the collection file in
check_deps.sh.

Cheers,
Cabaz
