vixie cron poller problem

[majedz]

Peace,
i am running cacti Version 0.8.8e on gentoo
at first there was the problem that rrds where not being populated, i managed to find out that poller was not running from cron.
if i run the poller manually using the cacti user, i get the rrds populated or created.

here is the setting in crontab:

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * *     cactiuser       /usr/bin/php -q /usr/bin/php /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /var/log/poller.log 2>&1

here is the content of /var/log/poller.log

Code: Select all

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '$' in /usr/lib64/php5.6/bin/php on line 17982

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$' in /usr/lib64/php5.6/bin/php on line 17982

how to solve this?

This looks wrong:

here is the setting in crontab:

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * *     cactiuser       /usr/bin/php -q /usr/bin/php /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /var/log/poller.log 2>&1

You probably want:

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * *     cactiuser       /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /var/log/poller.log 2>&1
