Did that.

Ok, call me stupid, I don't understand what you are asking me when you say
"where is document root".  The files router.html, and router.cfg are in
/var/www/mrtg.

If I open a browser and enter " http://backup/mrtg/router.html " or any
variation there of, for example:
" http://backup/www/mrtg/router.html "
" http://backup/var/www/mrtg/router.html "
I get " Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. "

But, if I enter " file:///var/www/mrtg/router.html " the page opens fine
showing me 9 differnet graphs, none of which are doing anything yet, but I'm
being patient.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

TIA,
