If your are upgrading to 0.8x from a pre 0.8x series you must type make update before you make install or will lose all your bandwidth data. !!! ----- Generic Install (no custom config) ----- make bandmin ----- Basic Install ----- ./configure make make config make install make cron (see below first) ----- Startup ----- To start collecting accounting data you must run this script. I suggest you put it in your rc.local after ifconfig. /usr/local/bandmin/bandminstart ----- Apache Stuff ----- If you are running apache, adding this to your config files will be helpful. Alias /bandwidth/ /usr/local/bandmin/htdocs/ Note: you might want to password protect access to the bandmin html pages with a .htaccess file or something of the like. ----- Crontab Stuff ----- you can run 'make cron' or add this manually 50,20 * * * * /usr/local/bandmin/bandmin 15 * * * * /usr/local/bandmin/bandminhtml 0 0 * * * /usr/local/bandmin/ipaddrmap ----- ----- Security Note ----- If you are using the UserIPAcct kernel patch, you will probably want to do some kind of .htaccess file or the like so a cracker can't see what usernames are on your system.
