[megatron]

1. Error occurred when i click the pdf icon. Refer to attachment.
2. Phalek, could you provide a proper documentation for nmidcreatepdf plugin?

Appreciate a lot. Thanks.

Hi megatron,

1. Did you set the logo correctly and made sure it exists ?
You can download that PDF file and open it in notepad/wordpad to actually see a text error message telling you more

2. sure I can and I will once I have a bit more time. I hope I can do some during this weekend.

1. Yes, I did set the path logo correctly. I changed the file type as you mention to check what is the error. Attached is the error.

2. Thanks and hope you could attach the documentation sooner.

ok, that might be a permission error, can you make sure that your wbserver has the right to write into that tmp dir ?

it should be in the plugin dir:

Code: Select all

/path/to/cacti/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/tmp

[megatron]

I did change the permission as I follow the steps in the forum but it still gives the same error.

[phalek]

ok, can you check if there is that 1.png file in that tmp ? and if yes delete it.

If not, then check if the gaphs can be created. In your case the following command should create a PNG file and prints it to stdout:

Code: Select all

php create_image.php  1 0 1245646661 1245650258 800 100

you can "redirect" the output into a file which you can then view:

Code: Select all

php create_image.php  1 0 1245646661 1245650258 800 100 > file.png

If there is no error, then can you check your http error logs for anything unusal ?

[megatron]

I did as you told. I'm not sure if it is the correct output. Can you verified it?
Attached is the image.

the tmp dir is not the one in /tmp

It is directly under the plugin directory:

/path/to/cacti/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/tmp

i my case (Centos 5.x) it is

Code: Select all

/var/www/html/cacti/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/tmp

and the permissions should be:

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache    4096 Jun 16 14:16 tmp

The image creation works, otherwise you wouldn't see these cryptic output ( binary ), you can see the graph by using my 2nd posted statement to redirect the output into a file, transfering it to you client PC and open it with an image viewer (IE would do)

[megatron]

I have checked but there are no image. I run your 2nd statement and it gaves error. Attached is the error image.

Can you verified if the permission is correct? Attached is the permission as well. Thank you.

[megatron]

Attached is the permission image

this seems to be an issue with your php installation. If you want, we can have a web session to look into this issue, but i`m only available in the mornings german time.

nevertheless check your php.ini and extensions dir for duplicate entries for the gd lib

[megatron]

Yes, it seems we need a web session to look into this issue. Can I know what date & time you will be available? We can dicuss through in msn messenger. Is it alright?

Appreciatea lot.. Thanks

[megatron]
