Unterminated <> operator at /home/cacti/cmd.php line 1

[studentcare]

I have just installed Cacti Version 0.8.7h onto Mandriva Linux 2010.2.

All is working well except that I get the following error trying to run cmd.php, either from Cron or the command line. I am assuming this is a PERL issue as the php file looks fine.

Unterminated <> operator at /home/cacti/cmd.php line 1

Has anyone else had this issue?

Any guidance that can be offered would be much appreciated.

This should not be a perl issue as this file is a php file ...

Thanks, have changed my CRON command to use PHP not perl and now it seems to run OK except that now I am getting the following

<br><strong>This script is only meant to run at the command line.</strong>

I do not get this when I run >PHP cmd.php manually from a shell.

Again any help would be appreciated.

It seems, that you did not yet follow the installation instructions, especially for crontab, see http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:1_inst ... gure_cacti
