3amir · Post by **3amir** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 4:06 am

I install Cacti-0.8.7e on CentOS 5.2 but but always have problem with rrdtool , I tried all version available in many sites like http://www.express.org/~wrl/rrdtool/ with no luck .
all RRDTool installed from site above show path /usr/local/bin/rrdtool while Binary path should be /usr/bin/rrdtool .
please advice which one should I use ??? Do I have to re-install Cacti again or I can just use the right one ???

Just change it in the Cacti Paths settings to match where the rrdtool binary really is.

Well , following procedure used to install Cacti
yum -y install gcc
yum -y install httpd
yum -y install mysq-server
yum -y install php php-mysql php-snmp

Download rrdtool RPM distribution from http://www.express.org/~wrl/rrdtool/ to a temporary folder and install it
cd /tmp
wget http://www.express.org/~wrl/rrdtool/rrd ... l.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh rrdtool-1.2.30-4.el4.wrl.i386.rpm
Download Cacti and install .
I tried to change path setting to /usr/bin/rrdtool but still have same error which is (ERROR: Installed RRDTool version does not match configured version Please visit the Configuration Settings and select the correct RRDTool Utility Version )
All configuration have no problem except RRDTool installation .
Please advice if there is any other way to download and install a compatible RRDTool with Cacti-0.8.7e on Centos 5.2 .

And did you go into the Cacti settings and change the rrdtool version to 1.2, like the message says?

It sounds like maybe you have two rrdtools installed (one in /usr/bin/ and one in /usr/local/bin).

If you take the path from the Cacti settings, and then paste it into a command-line, then you should get the version number of that version. Maybe it's 1.3 in one and 1.2 in the other?

That might do it

rpmforge has rrdtool available via yum. You need to install the rpmforge-release package, which configures yum to use that repo first.

EDIT: sorry - maybe they don't after all

EDIT 2: Actually they do: http://packages.sw.be/rrdtool/

If you want to install rrdtool via yum in CentOS. This is how to do it:

RRDTool, to compile or using RPM is not easy. It required many other packages. So, what I did is to follow this instruction : Installing RRDTool Using Yum
1. Create a file dag.repo under /etc/yum.repos.d :
shell> nano /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
2. Then, copy and paste the following code :
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
enabled=1
3. Save and run :
shell> yum install perl-rrdtool rrdtool

This is taken from http://www.bxtra.net/Articles/2008-09-1 ... irectAdmin

good luck
