rrdtool not found - no graph see in CACTI - workaround

[glemble]

Helllo,

i have install CACTI on a debian 3.0, with apache2 - mysql 4.1 - php 4.3.10.
Everything is configure quite good.

Crontab for create .rra file is ok. Web site is ok. But no graph in graph section can be see.
After read a lot of linux log, in errors.log from apache i can see that:
sh: line 1: /rrdtool: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /rrdtool: No such file or directory

So i run to Settings menu for see if all my path settings are good and every thing is good.

So for a workaround , i have just make a soft link from /usr/bin/rrdtool to /rrdtool .
This workaround work fine for me.

But i dont like this workaround. I check Mysql about settings and everything is good:
path_rrdtool /usr/bin/rrdtool

So there is a bug somewhere , or something like that ?

Web server in a root jail?

Also, you can alter the paths in the Console -> Configuration -> Settings -> Paths.

Hello,

My Path settings is good in cacti:
RRDTool Binary Path
The path to the rrdtool binary. /usr/bin/rrdtool


What do you mean about apache in root jail ?

I haven't explored doing this, but I'm pretty sure Debian 3.0 sid does this by default.

It's there the a process/deamon is restricted to a certain set of directories as a security percaution. Example "/usr/local/apache", would be the root of the web server install, but to the web server, it would appear as the root of it accessable file system, "/".

How it's configured, and how it works, I do not know, I have yet to explore it. But I sure others here will have insite into this.

On debian 3.0 there is this in default install:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

There is something to do with this RRDTOOL path issue ?
