Thanks Matt (and others) for helpful information on debugging.
I've got another problem though which possibly has nothing to do with ganglia. When using Mozilla 1.0.1 to view the statistics through the webfrontend, Mozilla fails to update the page when I click 'Get Fresh Data', and I need to clean the cache to get it working. If I use Konqueror all works fine, so this is either a bug in Mozilla or has something to do with the PHP scripts in the frontend. Has anyone encountered similar problems? Any tips on how to identify the problem? (I'm not exactly competent in PHP...) Cheers and thanks again, Tarjei
