I installed munin as per the howto - worked great as usual (this is on Debian Etch setup as per howto). As my 'real' web root was somewhere else (/var/www/webroot) I moved the munin dir from /var/www to /var/www/webroot. Munin broke. So I did apt-get remove munin apt-get remove munin-node dpkg --purge munin and I also removed other munin files i found, by hand Now no matter what I do I cannot reinstall munin. apt-get install munin (and nunin-node) fails with error .... Initializing new plugins../var/lib/dpkg/info/munin-node.postinst: line 27: munin-node-configure: command not found done. Munin-Node appears to be uninstalled. invoke-rc.d: initscript munin-node, action "start" failed. ..... i dont get it. I'm installing munin - why am I getting uninstalled errors? I've tried googling and looking at archives but I can't figure out how to reinstall. i'm moving my web root back to /var/www and just want to get munin working again. HELP!
Let me add that I believe it's because I manually removed files with munin in their name that is causing my problems. However, i didn't think the standard debian install would include munin files. I hope not. apt-get install munin-node currently gets this error: ... Setting up munin-node (1.2.5-1) ... Initializing new plugins../var/lib/dpkg/info/munin-node.postinst: line 27: munin-node-configure: command not found done. ... So maybe what I'm asking is how do I get munin files that are not part of the munin pkgs reinstalled (I guess there must be some). thanks
Remove munin-node like this: Code: apt-get remove --purge munin-node Then install it again. Then make sure you use the right directory as htmldir in /etc/munin/munin.conf, and that you chown that directory to munin:munin (see http://www.howtoforge.com/server_monitoring_with_munin_monit_debian_etch ).
OK I did that. htmldir (and everything) left stock. perms on /var/www/munin drwxr-xr-x 3 munin munin 4096 2008-05-20 20:30 /var/www/munin When i access myserver.com/munin I only see this now localdomain localhost.localdomain :: [ Disk Network Processes System ] and none of the graphs that are displayed as I click around are ever updated.
There are two, one of which I can't figure out how to fix. This one I think will be fixed by rebooting which I will do now 2008/05/22-07:10:01 CONNECT TCP Peer: "127.0.0.1:52094" Local: "127.0.0.1:4949" find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched. And this one I don't know how to fix - I've poked around but all the munin files here look just like the ones on another system of mine that is working. Here's the error May 22 06:30:04 [28521] - Unable to update localdomain -> localhost.localdomain -> exim_mailqueue -> mails: No such field (no "label" field defi ned when running plugin with "config").
I installed via your most excellent Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Debian Etch), so, I'm using Postfix. Hmm, so why is this suddenly complaining about exim? This was working great until I moved /var/www/munin to my (old,since removed) /var/www/webroot/ , then i apt-get --purge removed munin and reinstalled (back to /var/www). Since then only those 4 items show up on the munin web page whereas before about 15 did Thanks for helping
So, trying to start over again. I did this sudo apt-get remove --purge munin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: munin* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 1020kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y (Reading database ... 33786 files and directories currently installed.) Removing munin ... Purging configuration files for munin ... The generated web site or accumulated data won't be removed. dpkg - warning: while removing munin, directory `/etc/munin' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing munin, directory `/var/run/munin' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing munin, directory `/var/www/munin' not empty so not removed. And it didn't remove everything - according to the warnings. Last time I went and removed all that by hand and I think that's how I got into trouble the first time. What do I do next to _really_ remove munin so I can reinstall it fresh and have it 'just work' like it did the first time? Thanks
I'd remove these directories manually and install munin again. If that doesn't help, then I don't know...
