To enable web server watching do I recompile with:
./configure --prefix=/opt/orca --with-html-dir=/opt/OV/httpd/htdocs
--with-TYPE-log=/var/opt/OV/log/httpd_access_log
??
Or do I have to edit the .se file manually?
BTW: Should I be running by hand: $ se lib/orcallator.se &
Thanks for the help, I'm looking forward to getting this up and running!

Which link was this? I'd try again in a while.

Yes, this is correct.

Actually, you're pretty close here. Orcallator.se is the data
gathering tool
that is run on each Sun system. In this case, it does not look like
you are
watching your web server statistics, so Orca is failing. This is a
bug that
will be fixed in the next release of Orca. For now, there are two
solutions
to the bug. One is to enable web server watching in orcallator.se
on all your
hosts. The second is to remove from orcallator.cfg the plot { ... }
lines
that mention web serving until Orca does not complain.
The only think you'll probably want to change in orcallator.cfg are
the
html_* settings to be specific for your site.
