On your command is on the last line useless apostroph:

RRDtool Command lengths = 2953 characters.

RRDtool Says:

OK

Is there really useless apostroph in rrd command tool output? I cannot reproduce this on my cacti.

This is the correct apostrophe becouse If I enter this command with this apostrophe to the console(bash), then I see PNG binary output:

if i enter command without this apostrophe i see ">" symbol - bash is waiting for closing apostrophe.

Have you this problem with all graphs or only with specific device?

With all graphs.

[macan]

Could you please post here one rrd file and relevant rrd command?
Or send it to pm@kostax.cz

Try upgrading to 1.2.24 released today. If SVG Graphs wont display, try switching the Templates to PNG and see if that works better.

Sample of my rrdtool command:
LINE1:a#FF0000FF:'AVG Load all cores' \

You can delete title of LINE1
LINE1:a#FF0000FF:'' \
or
LINE1:a#FF0000FF: \

I don't know rrdtool deeply, but your end is strange for me. It seems that there is white space \n:

I can generate RRD from your data without any issues

Show result of commands "rrdtool version"
If you are using linux, show "type rrdtool"
And check COnfiguration -> settings -> paths your rrdtool path
And on General tab rrdtool version

Sorry, but where should I do this?

But i did nothing manualy. To clarify, I installed a new version of cacti on a new OS, moved the database from production server, and followed the web-based installation wizard on new cacti instance.

Perhaps did you mean generate PNG from RRD? I have trouble with this, not generate RRD.
And If yes, where did you generated it? If I do this (generate PNG from rrd via rrdtool) in the cli in linux, I don't get the error either. I wrote about it early.

I did it, but nothing changes...

Try to update rrdtools (maybe all installed packages) and change rrd version 1.8 in cacti settings.

Which os and PHP version?
