MRTG is included in RHEL4; if want to install separately do following:

 create user 'mrtg' with private group 'mrtg'
 mkdir /www/mrtg2.15.0
 chown mrtg.mrtg /www/mrtg2.15.0
 cd /usr/local/src
 chown mrtg.mrtg mrtg-2.15.0
 cd mrtg-2.15.0
 ./configure --prefix=/www/mrtg2.15.0
 make
 make install

Add MRTG-related part to apache config file /www/apache2.2.3/conf/httpd.conf:

 Alias /mrtg "/www/mrtg2.15.0/share"
 <Directory "/www/mrtg2.15.0/share">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
 </Directory>

Copy contrib/mrtg-startup-script/mrtg to /etc/init.d/ and correct as following:

 # config:       /www/mrtg2.15.0/etc/mrtg.cfg
 MRTG="/www/mrtg2.15.0/bin/mrtg"
 CONFIG="/www/mrtg2.15.0/etc/mrtg.cfg"


NOTE: temporary fix in:

 ERROR: CFG Error in "Interval": should be at least 5 Minutes (unless you use rrdtool)
 at /misc/clonweb/mrtg2.15.0/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 772.
