Restore cacti

[tamias]

Сacti stopped working and I want to restore it from backups.
I have a backup folder /cacti. And also i made a copy of cactidb

Code: Select all

$ mysqldump -uroot -p cactidb > cactidb.sql

That's what I do to restore:

Code: Select all

$ mysqldump -uroot -p cactidb < cactidb.sql

Deleting not working cacti folder, restore cacti folder from the backup.
Now i have to be able to login and enter into console cacti but the graphics are not available, and not created.
Help me please!

Code: Select all

$ mysqldump -uroot -p cactidb < cactidb.sql

I'm no MySQL expert, but... shouldn't the command above be "mysql" instead of "mysqldump"?

You are missing an important componet.

All graph related data is stored in the RRDTool files located in the rra directory of your original Cacti installation. Copy these files over.
