Re: apcupsd-cgi

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).
