Well the poller standard error path, you wrote /varlcacti/og

you l is before cacti, instead of after the / and before the o

Has for the spine process, where did you install it ?
if it's not under /usr/sbin/spine
or maybe you apache process dosen't have access to it.

I don't know much about the cacti installation and just executed this command "apt-get install cacti" on my new Debian 12 Linux box. The installation shown that successfully, and I don't really understand the installation or cacti files paths.

Please tell me how to check the correct paths.

hmm, if I'm right that install cacti, and cmd.php, not spine.

so far this is not a problem, you will need spine later if the number of device or polled objects is big.

did you correct this:
Well the poller standard error path, you wrote /var/lcacti/og
instead of /var/cacti/log

And what did you have under Poller ?
Did you setup the cron entry ?
Did you read any documentation on how to install cacti ? (after the apt-get install cacti)

I think it's php70- not php7.0

But you can do a apt-get search php
and you will get the right syntax for your package

If you have small installation, you don't need install spine.
Configuration->settings -> poller -> Poller type switch to cmd
Data collection -> data collectors -> Main poller -> increase processes from 1 to 2 or 4

it doesn't matter. Howto contains a list of php modules that cacti needs. So install these modules on the system and restart the web server.

root@cacti-server:~# touch /etc/sysconfig/cactid
touch: cannot touch '/etc/sysconfig/cactid': No such file or directory
root@cacti-server:~#
