Installation
------------

Download syweb-version.tar.gz from the website and copy htdocs/ and symon/ from
the archive into /var/www. Install rrdtool into the chroot using
~syweb/install_rrdtool.sh.

Make your symon rrds accessable to apache. Move them into /var/www/symon/rrds
and update symux.

Customise /var/www/htdocs/syweb/setup.inc. The supplied setup.inc should work
fine if you are using an chrooted apache and have copied all the files as
instructed. Interesting things to set in setup.inc:

$symon['cache_duration'] - set this to the number of seconds that generated
                           graphs should be kept for.

$symon['layout_dir']     - remove this to disable non-default layouts

You can also comment out specific sizes and timespans in $symon['defaults'] by
adding // in front of them. This can be used to restrict graphs to certain
sizes/timespans, as the larger ones cost hefty amounts of cpu and ram to
compute.

Point your browser to http://127.0.0.1/syweb/configtest.php to test the
configuration. This page will show if the application cannot deal with a
setting in setup.inc.

Point your browser to http://127.0.0.1/syweb/index.php for the main page.

Your graphs may be off by a couple of hours. Let apache know in what timezone
you live by adding a etc/localtime in your chrooted apache dir.
