Installation on a FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE

Install first the required packages.

# pkd_add -r apache
# pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/graphics/rrdtool-1.2.30.tbz
# pkg_add -r p5-ParallelUA
      

Download and extract the Monitorix package.

# fetch http://www.monitorix.org/monitorix-1.3.2.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf monitorix-1.3.2.tar.gz
      

Go to the Monitorix directory and execute the install script.

# cd monitorix-1.3.2
# ./install.sh

Welcome to Monitorix v1.3.2 installation process.

The install script has detected that this is a FreeBSD operating system.

The following is a list of the default paths where the Monitorix components
will be installed:

	1 - /usr/local/sbin
	2 - /usr/local/etc
	3 - /usr/local/etc/rc.d
	4 - /usr/local/lib
	5 - /usr/local/share/doc
	6 - /usr/local/www/apache22/data
	7 - /usr/local/www/apache22/cgi-bin
	8 - /usr/local/man/man5

Last chance to stop the installation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Monitorix is a crond-based application and must be executed by root. This means
that every time it is started or stopped it will overwrite or remove its own
crontab file in the /var/cron/tabs directory.
This may create a conflict if another application is using the same method.
You have been warned.

Are you sure to install Monitorix on the paths shown? [y/n]: 
      

The list of paths should be correct. Press y.

Finally start Monitorix.

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/monitorix start
      

Now wait for a while and then go to http://localhost/monitorix/.

Don't forget to read the README.FreeBSD file that you'll find in /usr/local/share/doc/monitorix/.
Don't forget to start the Apache web server!.
