cmd.php gets stuck after polling

[Jimbob]

For some reason cmd.php has suddenly stopped doing any updates. I have run cmd.php manually and checked the output, I believe its polling all the hosts, but then cmd.php seems to just hang when I expect to see:

update /www/htdocs/cacti/rra/ blah
update /www/htdocs/cacti/rra/ blahblah

Can anyone help! I 1st upgraded from 0.8.5 to 0.8.5a in order to reinstall,
I then moved all current rrd files incase they had an issue, and then I
dropped the cacti sql table and imported a backup from yesterday -
but I still have the same issue!

I'd be very gratefull for any pointers!

Thanks.

Where you having the problem previous to the upgrade to 0.8.5a, or where you trying to upgrade to fix the problem?

I upgraded in a desperate attempt to fix the problem.

Dont worry - I have managed to get cactid working instead of cmd.php

check the permissions of your .rrd-files.. (moving should move the permissions too.. but it's better if you check them..)

pass the output of cmd.php to a file by changing /etc/crontab
there you'll see perhaps more infos about what is happening

does rrdtool work correctly?

is the path to rrdtool correctly set within the cacti-settings?
