Put that in your path for the font.

Check the logs.

File not found

[cert-eh-fiable]

I copy / paste 'd that from your last reply. Weird unless there's a permissions issue.

Can you copy that file to the cacti installation and then place the path to that file in your settings?

cp /path/to/file.ttf /copy/to/this/path/file.ttf

cp {/path/filename} {/to/path/filename}

I did that and it says that it's found. However, still not populating graphs.

And I'm still getting the RRDTool version error message. The funny thing is, Cacti installed it when I did apt-get install cacti. I would think it would've installed whatever version it needed.

[cert-eh-fiable]

set the version in the console settings that applies to the version installed on your machine.

# rrdtool --help

post the output

It would still be nice to see the syslogs output. I'm beginning to think that you have a series of installation issues.

1. Do you have a SNMP RO user defined.
2. Do you have rrdtool 1.3 installed on an older version of cacti.
3. Are you running the lastest version of cacti.

That sort of stuff.

You might also copy and print the top portion of your console > utilities > tech support page.

I just installed cacti a couple days ago so I assume it's the newest version. RRDTool displays that it is 1.3.x so I assume that's correct also.

If need be, I can uninstall and reinstall it. I've only got localhost working on the thing anyway.

[cert-eh-fiable]

Some things I notice right off the bat.

RRDTool 1.3.1 is old.
Cacti 0.8.7b is old
PHP 16M Memory Limit is low for your version.

Regardless.

Upgrade cacti of 0.8.7.e
I wouldn't run RRDTool 1.3.8 I'd install 1.2.27 but that's up to you.

Get that done and we'll see from there.

Is because you're running rrdtool 1.3.1 on a cacti 0.8.7b installation.

If you're on CentOS yum upgrade the installations as long as rpmforge is repo enabled.

I have gone through and attempted to remove cacti & rrdtool. Removal was successful but I can't seem to get the versions you specified. The machine that is meant to be running cacti is Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit. The only option I have is to download the newest versions of both available. RRDTool version is 1.3.1. Cacti version is 0.8.7b. I attempted to download the newest Cacti in hopes that it would be compatible with the newest RRDTool, but can't figure out how to install it. Still looking for documentation for that...

Why would they release cacti rolled with an RRDTool release that's incompatible. That makes no sense. Well, I guess I'll abandon cacti for now. Seems Ubuntu can't get their stuff together enough to release compatible packages.

[gandalf]

If you want to stay with that old cacti version, manually set "Settings -> RRDTool Utility Version" to 1.2. Cacti will autodetect rrdtool 1.3 in latest versions.
But don't ask us about Ubuntu's package updating policy
