2. Install RRDTooL

if you have Cpanel then RRDTOOL is installed by default into the /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/ folder. remember this path that you will need to Add it to Xenica configs later.

for installing RRDTool in clean machine use one of the following commands (depends on your distro):

   yum install rrdtool –y

   apt-get install rrdtool

   rpm -ivh http://wiki.servarica.com/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm

cd /var/www/html/whmcs
chown -R apache:apache modules/servers/Xenica
chown -R apache:apache modules/addons/xenica

rrds,kickstarts and graphs folders need to be writable by apache ,

chmod -R 755 modules/servers/Xenica/rrds 
chmod -R 755 modules/servers/Xenica/kickstarts 
chmod -R 755 modules/servers/Xenica/graphs
