Cacti not showing graphs

Post by Braynid »

Hello,
I've installed cacti from the cacti-0.8.5-2.a.0.rh8.dag.i386.rpm. The RPM install was good and returned no errors. But when I access for the first time www.mysite.com/cacti and it requires the paths to other components like rrdtools and snmp it says NOT FOUND, although I am ABSOLUTELY sure they are ther, in the exact same path. If I click finish anyway it starts cacty but it generates no graphs.

The only device I see is the localhost and it says SNMP not active, I've checked the snmpd process and it's running fine.

Can you help me with this please ?

Tanks.

Also I've tried to chmod 0777 the needed binary files for rrdtools and snmp but it still won't validate the paths during install.

Until you fix those path issues, you aren't going to have graphs.

You need to make sure that rrdtool and netsnmp-utils are installed.

There is no shadow of doubt that they are installed. If I search the exact paths that cacti requires using slocate i find the required file, '/etc/init.d/snmpd status' says snmp is up and running.

The files are all there, installed as they should be, the paths are surely correct, I've checked them several time, I've chmodded them 777 but stii it gives me the NOT FOUND error.

How may I fix it ?

My only contribution I can make to this thread (since I am also having problems getting graphs displayed) is that I never could get the RPM working properly. It would tell me it couldn't find needed files or whatnot but the paths it was using did have the files needed there.

Eventually I RPM-e'd the whole thing and installed via the TARball. For some reason it was more descriptive the first time I hit the webpage than the RPM variant was. I was walked through some initial verification screens and was able very quickly to be up and running, at least from an administration and device collection standpoint.
