apcupsd-cgi

[tony.chamberlain at lemko.com]

I installed apcusb-cgi too on the centos. There was not a libcrypto.so.5
so I copied one from Fedora and put it into /lib. The web stuff from
apubsb-cgi is in /var/www/cgi-bin/apcupsd. Wehn I run it either standalone
or from the web it sort of works, but I get this error message:

 ...
 </tr>
 <tr><td colspan="8" class="Fault">Error: Cannot open hosts file</td></tr>
 </table>

(This looks a lot nicer on the web page but I cannot cut and paste). Basically it is telling me it cannot open hosts.
An ls shows -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 391 Aug 14 10:59 /etc/hosts which looks like it is readable. Does it also need to
be writeable? If so, should I run it under tomcat so root has access?

HI Tony,

 No, you don't need powerchute with apcupsd. Set up the scripts in / 
etc/apcupsd to send alerts/pages/emails for the different events. 
Then /etc/rc.d/init.d/apcupsd will provide the daemon when enabled 
and started.
 There's another package apcupsd-cgi which will provide a nice web 
page where you can get graphics showing load/battery status/run time, 
etc. - but I don't know if it's available in the CentOS repositories 
(I'm currently running it on Fedora systems only).

 Dave
