No charts in FC9 after installing from yum

[deconb]

Hello there,

So I installed cacti from yum, I have all of the rrdt packages installed. I'm in fact using it with ntop so I know rrdt is working.

After doing the yum install, cacti is in /usr/share/cacti. I edited include/config.php to have the proper mysql info, I think that's working ok. I removed the <directory> directive from /etc/httpd/conf.d/cacti.conf since I am the only user even plugged into this machine (crossover).

I can visit httpd://ip/cacti and get the page, I log in just fine but when I go to graphs, all I see are the sections for the various graphs, no graphs them selves.

access_log shows this:
10.0.2.23 - - [19/Aug/2008:13:12:10 -0700] "GET /cacti/graph_image.php?local_graph_id=4&rra_id=0&view_type=tree&graph_start=1219090329&gra

and error log shows this:

I thought perhaps a permission error, so I chownd everything (-R) as apache:apache, problem did not go away.

I moved /usr/share/cacti to /tmp, tried it there as owned by both root:root and apache:apache (root:root is the default after installing from yum).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and a solution will result in posting at fedoraforum.org so others will benefit


THANKS!

no ideas? nothing?

I'm very sad, I was looking forward to running cacti!

Hmm I have also just installed on one of my FC9 servers, to have a play with cacti.

Also install via yum, however noticed this.

When you install via yum, it installs all the dependencies, naturally including rrdtool, it installed rrdtool-1.3.0-1.fc9.i386

When I go to my cacti System Utils, then select Tech Support, it errors, saying incorrect rrdtool version selected, however, the only options are 1.0.x or 1.2.x so I assume that the dependency has been updated, but the cacti gui/config/setup has not been to select/allow 1.3.x?

Anyone any ideas?

For me, fix was to select version 1.2 which matches what was installed. Did not use yum though.

hmm to continue the story, some grapsh seem to work, interfaces do not. Cacti seems to make say 8.rrd but then has 9.rrd in the webpage, so naturally errors show file not existing...

in regards to the original poster, I was having the same problem.

Setting cacti to use rrdtool 1.2.X I was able to get graphs all the time.

Hope this helps.

This is a known problem. The cure is, as already mentioned, setting rrdtool utility version to rrdtool 1.2 manually.
The fix will be part of upcoming 087c
