Hi Alex,

sorry for the delay. Please send further mails to the mailinglist
<collectd at verplant.org> so a bigger group can benefit from your
questions. Also, you're more likely to get an answer to your questions
quickly.

Which `SocketFile' did you configure? Does the path exist? Does the user
have write-permissions to that directory?

There are three ways around this:
1) Don't specify the port - you're using the default port.
2) Make the port setting a string, e. g.
   Port "7634"
3) Download and use the version 4.0.2 which I have just uploaded to the
   website.

Please note that `collection.conf' is not the same as `collectd.conf'.
It's for configuring `collection.cgi', not `collectd'! (And vice versa,
obviously. The config for the `collection.cgi' should look like this:
-- 8< --
 DataDir: "/var/lib/collectd/rrd"
-- >8 --
You have to adapt the path, of course.
