Hi

this shows that you miss the php-snmp module (click on the cactus to check). It's not mandatory, but I think it's more efficient than forking snmpget/snmpwalk/etc.

hi,
i installed the tarball named phpSNMP-v0.7b.tar.gz and configured..but i have some doubts here.
[root@www phpSNMP-v0.7b]# ls
CHANGES customers.inc.php3 index.php3 mysql.inc.php3 README sql.php3
COPYING data instruct.php3 ports.inc.php3 snmp.jpg update

this output shows mysql.inc.php3, customers.inc.php3, ports.inc.php3.
when i read the README it asks to make some changed in these files but i'm not sure what does it mean.can you please let me know this.
thanks,
ashish
