poller.php problem - upgrading to 0.8.6c

[Guest]

I've been pulling my hair out for half the day trying to work out what
has broken. I upgraded from 0.8.6b to 0.8.6c as per the instructions
on cacti.net.

I can run php cmd.php fine, it checks every hosts etc. Whenever I try
and run php poller.php I get:

# php poller.php
12/26/2004 07:18:58 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a
Remote Process [CMD: /usr/bin/php, ARGS: -q
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/cacti/cmd.php 0 60]
Waiting on 1/1 pollers.
Waiting on 1/1 pollers.
Waiting on 1/1 pollers.
Waiting on 1/1 pollers.

I tried using cactid but had the same error.

I'm using:
Slackware 10.0
net-snmp 5.2
cacti 0.8.6c

I restored the old database and cacti directory and everything is working fine again (using 0.8.6b). So I'm assuming it's a problem with the new database?

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Database structure does not change from 0.8.6b to 0.8.6c. Probably related to a new configuration variable that you need to set in settings.

Have you tried to install Cactid? I was polling 8 hosts with over 100 interfaces and it cut my time from 1 min to 2 secs (using 8 threads).

Might be worth a try.

i get that error in a fresh install with only localhost pre configured in cacti, still havent found a way to make it work

Yes, I tried with cactid - no difference, same error. :/

I'm the original poster - I tried again, same thing. I followed the upgrade instruction to a tee. I tried running the poller as root, nothing.

if I run php cmd.php, it works fine, but it seems there's a problem with updating the rrd files or something. I can't figure it out.

Please set you logging level in Settings -> Poller Logging Level to Debug and email me or post the resulting log located in your cacti installation directory /logs/cacti.log.
