Please see the various documents in the "docs/" subdirectory.

Notably, the docs/TOC.txt tells you where to find what information.

Yes, all of this documentation will be made available in html form
eventually. But for now, it is content before form!

QUICK INSTALL GUIDE:
=====================
(NOTE: a more detailed version of this is in docs/INSTALL.txt)

For those that can't wait to read through all of the finer detail:

(0. Do you have perl > 5.x and cacti > 0.8.5a ? This is fairly important!)

1. Pick a script - the default ws_apachestats.pl should be good for most
people (see docs/TUNING.txt for a high-speed version).

2. Copy the script to $cacti_path/scripts and make sure to name it
"ws_apachestats.pl".

3. Ensure that the apache server you are targeting has the ExtendedStatus On
and has permissions to allow for queries (look for /server-status).

4. Import the host xml file for apachestats from the xml directory.

5. Define a new graph and enter the hostname information as per usual (I'm
assuming you know how cacti works).

5. Have a cup of coffee - the graphs will only get created and populated after
two cycles of cacti querying the web server (~10 minutes on system).

6. You're welcome to post questions for help on the message board at
www.raxnet.net/board if you get stuck, although I can't promise to always be
responsive.
