Thanks to the help from this list, I've found out one or two essential facts which have allowed me to install working versions of the .deb for analog (actually, I then found the same info in the first few lines of the documentation included with awstats, which was giving me the same sort of grief for the same reasons) -- now, I wonder, could the list similarly help me to get Report Magic going?
The documentation talks glibly about Windows and Mac installations -- all else is 'source' -- but that isn't really of any concern. Does anyone know what is being referred to by "the analog directory" in this documentation? Analog lives in /usr/bin/analog; its configuration file lives at /etc/analog.conf; the form generator it uses to produce its HTML output lives in /usr/bin/cgi-bin/; but where does it send its output when it's producing data files, not HTML? (I've got it to produce 'report.dat'; but I'm damned if I know where it puts it once it's produced it!) Or does it live only in cyberspace and do I have to specify where it goes myself? This is not at all clear. (My browser can find it, and display it as text, however.) Likewise for Report Magic -- where is the directory the documentation refers to as 'the Report Magic directory"? Again, rmagic lives in /usr/bin/rmagic (presumably the 'rmagic.pl' talked about in the docs); its configuration files lives at /etc/rmagic/rmagic.ini (and log files go into the same directory); but where is it going to look for the 'report.dat' input file it requires? And how do I fire it up from a web-page? Write my own link from cgi-bin and point to that? Once again -- any help/suggestions most appreciated. I feel there's something absolutely obvious which is just off the edge of my perception; but the only other Debian user in my neighbourhood says he abandoned ever trying to get this combo to work several months ago. msw -- Martin Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gpg key 01269BEB @ the.earth.li -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
