Apache-stats Failing

Help

Hi,

I have modified apache-stats.py (slightly), to point to the correct “site” (with server-status working … confirmed). And, the output from apache-stats.py seems to exist, it’s as follows,

56386
476047360
.00180684
1116869
.0504858

But, I can see when I try to capture the poller output,

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apache-stats.py", line 43, in
os.rename ( CACHEFILE+‘.TMP.’+os.getpid(), CACHEFILE )
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

Any thoughts? BTW, here is my validate.php output (it should be current),

Your snmpd service cannot execute the script. Try an snmpwalk to see.

And if snmpwalk fails as it will probably will, have a look at permissions of the script, and any subcommands of it. Had the same kind of issues while playing with bind Application monitoring.

Yep, this is definitely the issue. Did a sudo su to Debian-snmp (snmp user, as you note), and running the script I get the same error message. What is odd are the permissions in /tmp … seems from below like it should be working. Hmmm - still digging. Thanks!

OK, got it working - thanks for the pointers! Let me capture it here, in case others have the same issue (trying to save folks some grief).

If you run apache-stats.py as a user other than the snmp user (Debian-snmp in this case), it creates the file /tmp/apache-snmp with permissions that then block the snmp user. Rather, run as below to check it (deleting the existing /tmp/apache-snmp file first if needed),

sudo -H -u Debian-snmp bash -c ‘apache-stats.py’

Hopefully that’s clear. And again, thanks!
