[Orca-users] Re: newbie question

[Blair Zajac]

Are you getting any messages from orca?  Is it generating
plots that just has data as a value of 0?

The config file looks correct.   To see a real one, look
at orcallator/orcallator.cfg.in in the orca distribution.

I'll try to take a look at this to see what might be
wrong.

I've got v0.26 installed and working properly, but am having problems with the config file (there are no good examples around even though the docs say it's included in the distribution). Anyway I've got a data source which is a file that is updated once a day with the previous days worth of data.
