[Orca-users] Thoughts?

[Mauro, Douglas R]

BTW:  I tried to subscribe to orca-help online but couldn't.  The link just
hung.

I am trying to install Orca on Solaris 2.5.1.  Currently I have installed:

Name		Version		Install Location
--------		----------
---------------------------------
Orca		0.23		/opt/orca
SE		3.0		/opt/RICHPse
Rrd		1.0.3		/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.3

I ran the orca coinfigure with the following:
./configure --prefix=/opt/orca --with-html-dir=/opt/OV/httpd/htdocs

No problems.

I am guessing that the html-dir is a directory that is accessible through
the WWW?

Reading through INSTALL...

[root][nms] /opt/orca> ./bin/start_orcallator
Writing data into /opt/orca/var/orca/orcallator/nms/
Starting logging
[root][nms] /opt/orca>

It was unclear at first glance what I should edit in the .cfg file so I left
it alone.

When I tried starting and/or running orca after I saw some data files
written I got:

[root][nms] /opt/orca> ./bin/orca -v lib/orcallator.cfg
Orca version 0.23 using RRDs version 1.000031.

I feel like I am missing the big picture.  What does is the orcalator.se
file used for?  Am I supposed to run these things by hand?  Is this the same
for rrd?
