/etc/rc.d/init.d/mrtg stop
then
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mrtg start
If you get the same error message, then
ps auxf
Find the PID number and kill it using this command:
kill -9 PID
Then
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mrtg start

I had this same problem and before i found this thread i reran cfgmaker and killed me cfg file. Not i am sure the system is hosed up. Does anybody have a cfg file i can look at to try to regenerate mine.

Thanks,

After killing the process, and trying to mrtg start, I get:

your server had the wrong mrtg package installed. It should have had the cpanel mrtg package.

You have to remove the old mrtg rpm, and installed the correct cpanel version.

/etc/init.d/mrtg restart
Shutting down MRTG: [ OK ]
Starting MRTG: Daemonizing MRTG ...

Then add it to the up2date skiplist to prevent this from happening again.
