NO RRD Files created -> NO GRAPHS

[netana]

I need your help. I installed cacti successfully.
I have troubles to generate graphs - cacti has snmp access to the device, but the graph debug ...
ERROR: opening 'D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\cacti/rra/core_router_traffic_in_10.rrd': No such file or directory
My question is what could be the reason that there are no rrd-files created in the rra directory?

Some additonal infos:
d:\rrd\rrdtool.exe
c:\php\php.exe
d:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\cacti and I am using
apache_2.0.54-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
php-4.3.4-Win32.zip
mysql-4.0.18-win.zip
cacti-cactid-0.8.6d
ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-MSWin32-x86-122208.msi
rrdtool-1.0.49-win32-bin

Thanks a lot

Make sure that the IUSR accounts have read/write/create access to this folder. It's probabaly a security issue writing to those folders.

Sorry I am new here. How can I check the permission for the IUSR? Enclosed you can find further information. I checked something I have found in the forum.

I just noticed that you are running Apache which I think uses a different account. However, I'll give it a shot.

Right click on your RRA Directory and go to Security. Makre sure that the Services Account that Apache uses has Write Access into this folder. Apache may have a similar account setup to IIS which has a Process Acount and a Guest Account. As I'm using IIS, I granted Write Access to the Process Account.

Sorry I can't be more specific as I'm not using Apache

Hi there,

I want to use this great Tool - CACTI - for monitoring some Unix-Systems from a W2k-Host.

For on my installation on W2k I used following files:
Apache Webserver 2.0.52 - path is "c:\apache2"
PHP 4.3.10 - path is "c:\php4"
MySQL 4.1 - path is "c:\mysql"
cacti-0.8.6c - path is "c:\devhost\unix\cacti"
cactid-0.8.6d - path is "c:\cactid"
net-snmp-5.2.1-1.win32 - path is "c:\net-smtp"

Set User for database and fill with data from file cacti.sql ... no problem.
Everthing fine. I configured the Scheduler. I set the environment SYSTEM-variables MIBS=ALL ... MIBSDIR=c:\php4\php.exe ... and ... PHPRC=c:\php4

Login to cacti ... it seem to looks good

create some devices and graphs - check snmp to any unix machines ... wonderfull.

I set up the cacti.log to collect data in DEBUG-Mode to find any inconsistence and troubles ...

now i want to see some results in GRAPH ... mmmhhhh angry nothing to see ... only the stupid X - no images created!

A look into rrd-directory shows nothing. (the rrd-dir has r/w rights for EVERYONE and SERVICE)

the cacti.log-file has some information about:
> ... fetch C:\devhost\unix\cacti/rra/f30xyd2_traffic_in_35.rrd ... (ok good)
> ... graph ... DEF:a="C\:\devhost\unix\cacti/rra/f30xyd2_mem_free_34.rrd":mem_free:AVERAGE ... (??? a backslash after "c" -> "c\:\dehost..." )

ok, the next step was trying to check poller.php from cmd-line ...

c:\php4\php.exe c:\devhost\unix\cacti\poller.php (and the result is)
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.10

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

... whatever ...trying c:\php4\php.exe c:\devhost\unix\cacti\cmd.php is the same result

Switching in "Setting->Poller" to cmd.php instead of cactid don't change anything ...

NO RRD-FILES and NO GRAPHs.


Is there anybody out there who can help me?


Thanks ...

Hello,

First of all:

I set the environment SYSTEM-variables MIBS=ALL ... MIBSDIR=c:\php4\php.exe ... and ... PHPRC=c:\php4

There is a documentation issue, MIBSDIR should be MIBDIRS. Also, MIBS=ALL should be deleted.

Then, you need to schedule the following every 5 minutes:

<php_path>\php.exe <cacti_path>\poller.php

After a few cycles, your graphs will start to appear.

Mhhhhhh,

It's a pity ... but these don't solve my problem - creating rrd-files.

My PHP,SNMP,Apache works fine ...

In Cacti-Management -> "Devices", the machines I want to monitore, show a status "unknown" ... clicking on it is showing an established SNMP-Connection with no errors. Maybe an bug?!?

Please help,

thanks a lot,

Are you running poller.php? How often?

TheWitness

[3jay]

I'm using the windows scheduler an set the timer to 5 minutes.

Manual starting of poller.php or cmd.php in command-line of windows always shows the same information - I already wrote in this thread ...



Thanks for every help,
