[Resolved] rrdgraph authorization error

[georgetasioulis]

Hello,

I installed rrdgraph as per the instructions here (https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:config:rrd-graph-monitoring) but experience authorization issues when running the cron.

This is what I see when I manually run 'ls_stats/update.php'

#!/usr/bin/php

    Updating RRD-file

I went into 'ls_stats/sources/lsws_stats.php' and changed line 80 from

$content = file_get_contents('http://localhost:7080/status?rpt=summary');

to

$content = file_get_contents('http://username:password@localhost:7080/status?rpt=summary');

(using my LiteSpeed WebAdmin Console username/password)

but it didn't help either.

When I curl the above URL manually, I get the following:

# curl -I http://localhost:7080/status?rpt=summary
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:27:37 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Server: LiteSpeed
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="StatusAccess"
Connection: Keep-Alive

Is there any other setting I need to enable in LiteSpeed, for rrdgraph to operate?

Best regards,
George T.

Hi,

It's a warning. Shouldn't affect the usage.
You can try to view the rrd graph: http://virtual-host-domain/ls_stats/index.php

Regards,

Further update:

Please change ownership of this file to lsadm:nobody : /usr/local/lsws/admin/htpasswds/status
and permission to 0640.

Plus your modification of the line 80 code to add user: password.

This should fix the warning.

Thank you, this fixed the issue. I also had to disable cagefs on the cpanel user I used for rrdgraph, because of a shared library error - now graphs are being generated correctly.

Good, thanks for confirmation and sharing

I confirmed the solution as well.

#curl -I http://localhost:7080/status?rpt=summary
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

#curl -I http://username:password@localhost:7080/status?rpt=summary
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

username / password need put into /usr/local/lsws/admin/htpasswds/status
1) can have multiple username / password pairs in this file, one pair one line
2) password can be encrypted by apache's utility htpasswd (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/programs/htpasswd.html)

the issue is started from 5.0.19 after adding authentication for "localhost:7080/status?"
before this version no authentication required.
