poller.php not starting any poller

Post by raymonvdm »

Hi

Im trying to get up cacti again but am failing

I installed cacti 0.8.6

and already had apache 1.3.* and am running php 4.3.10

But al i get are poller errors:

02/08/2005 09:58:00 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a Remote Process [CMD: c:\php\cli\php.exe, ARGS: -q f:\inetpub\www\domain\cacti/cmd.php 0 13]

And nothing else happends it just keeps waiting for poller 1/1


Update:

Just installed a clean database and a new cacti installation and still the same problems.

please goto "Settings->Paths" and change php.exe to c:\php\php-win.exe. This will fix your problem.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Oh, you are right. Ok, here are your options:

1) Turn logging to debug and then run c:\php\php.exe <webroot>\cacti\cmd.php and verify that you get output and not PHP warnings.

If that works, then step 2

2) Run "c:\php\php.exe <webroot>\cacti\poller.php" and verify that it works Ok.

If either does not work correctly, just post your output.

The first step is working,

The cmd.php is started and the devices are poller i only get 1 perl error because there is no pearl on my box.

But when i run poller.php it keeps waiting for poller 1/1 endless

Please insure that you are not running in PHP Safe Mode. Check your php.ini file.

Well i thougt that the problem was over but it is still there.

Apache is running with vhost and per vhost php directives can be given. so it is possible for one vhost to run in php safemode while another runs in with php safe mode off. I thought that settings php safe mode = 0 did help me solve my problem but it didnt.

When i check my vhost it is running with phpsafe mode off

http://cacti.van-der-meijden.com/temp/phpinfo

Vhost Settings:

Code: Select all


<VirtualHost 192.168.100.200:80>
 
ServerAdmin webmaster@van-der-meijden.com
DocumentRoot "f:\inetpub\www\meijden\cacti"
ServerName cacti.van-der-meijden.com
ErrorLog logs/cacti.van-der-meijden.com-error.log
TransferLog logs/cacti.van-der-meijden.com-access.log
php_admin_value safe_mode 0
php_admin_value extension_dir c:\php\extensions
php_admin_value extension php_snmp.dll
php_admin_value extension php_sockets.dll


#php_admin_value open_basedir f:/inetpub/www/meijden/cacti/
##php_admin_value include_path f:/inetpub/www/meijden/cacti/

 
#<Directory "/">
#    Options FollowSymLinks
#    AllowOverride None
#    Order deny,allow
#    deny from all
#</Directory>
 
#<Directory "f:\inetpub\www\meijden\cacti">
#    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
#    AllowOverride All
#    Order allow,deny
#    allow from all
#</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I think Safe Mode is an global option, not an option you can set in a vhost. You will have to check the php site for information on that.
