that you add something like the following to httpd.conf:

    Alias /FlowViewer/ "/usr/local/www/flowviewer/"


    <Directory "/usr/local/www/flowviewer/">
        Options +ExecCGI
        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
        Order allow,deny
	Allow from 127.0.0.1 .example.com
	Deny from all
    </Directory>

Then point your browser to 'http://myserver.domain.org/FlowViewer/FV.cgi'

Stefan Eßer (se) · 4.5_4
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.

This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Approved by:		portmgr (tcberner)
fb16dfecae
Stefan Eßer (se) · 4.5_4
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries
of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic
attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than
one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the
Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr
files in order to preserve them.

There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These
ports will not be touched in this commit.

The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port
Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as
deprecated.

FlowViewer, FlowGrapher, and now FlowTracker are tools that provide an easy web-based user interface for selecting, viewing, graphing, and now tracking NetFlow data stored using Mark Fullmer's flow-tools software.

The user is able to filter data (inclusion or exclusion) by device, IP address
range, port, router interface, autonomous system (AS), specified time interval,
and now by protocols, TOS field, and TCP flags. Many of the flow-tools reports
are configured as drop-down selections. Users are also able to save reports and
graphs for later viewing.
