vnstatd refuses to start | SG-3100 w/23.01

Kermee

Hi. I don't know when or how, but vnstatd refuses to start so "Traffic Totals" complains that "Error: Graphing is not enabled, Enable Graphing in the Advanced Settings above."

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package "Status_Traffic_Totals" many times, but it still won't start. I get his message during the install:

=====
Message from vnstat-2.9:

--
vnstat has been installed.

A sample configuration file has been installed in /usr/local/etc/
Please add your default network interface in the 'Interface' line there
before starting vnstat service.

For more information about vnStat use "man vnstat" or visit:
http://humdi.net/vnstat/

And also get this message on shell:

[23.01-RELEASE][root@]/root: vnstat
Error: Unable to open database directory "/var/db/vnstat": No such file or directory
The vnStat daemon should have created this directory when started.
Check that it is configured and running. See also "man vnstatd".
[23.01-RELEASE][root@]/root:

Not sure what else to do at this point. Any help, greatly appreciated.

In Traffic Totals, click the Display Advanced button in the Settings section. Then, you'll see the Enable Graphing button. Click that and you should see the service start and data begin to display.

@juanzelli OMG. I'm so DUMB. Thank you very much. I completely forgot that step. You're a scholar and a gentleman. THANK YOU!
