[Original post http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=42444]
Get vnstat and install:

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/vnstat/vnstat-1.4-3.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
yum localinstall vnstat-1.4-3.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm

Add the interfaces you would like to monitor:

vnstat -u -i eth0
vnstat -u -i eth1

(Ignore the error message you get)

Get the frontend and configure:

cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/
wget http://www.sqweek.com/sqweek/files/vnstat_php_frontend-1.4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf vnstat_php_frontend-1.4.tar.gz
cd vnstat_php_frontend-1.4

nano config:
Edit the information about the interfaces you would like to graph:

$iface_list = array('eth0', 'ppp0');

The optional names:

$iface_title['eth0'] = 'Internal';
$iface_title['ppp0'] = 'Internet';

Finnaly set application path:

$vnstat_bin = '/usr/bin/vnstat';

Then change permission on /var/lib/vnstat/* files

chmod 666 /var/lib/vnstat/*;

Wait and you should see the application working at http://yourserverIP/vnstat_php_frontend-1.4
